This has been a interesting thread to read, they were such hard days, being bombed, torpedoed or engaged by a enemy ship (especially those of the larger kind) was a constant concern, safety was "No Where" in that area of operations especially during 1940 to 1943 and on wards.
The bravery of all sailors RN RAN etc and Merchant Navy really is beyond words and the MN who imo, were to many people the forgotten naval force yet possibly amongst the very best and the most important fleet of the Allied side.
