Hello listers I wonder if any body can help or point me in the right direction? A 1st cousin of mine was killed during WWII whilst serving in the Merchant Marine. He would have died any time between 1940 and the end of the war. I am looking for a date of death and name of the ship he was on.

Hi Richard & Listers ! You can find most of the information that you need on the "CWGC" (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) website - all except the name of his ship ! Their website is at http://WWW.CWGC.ORG/debt_of_honour.asp?menuid=14 then fill in the details in the boxes: Surname, Initial, War, Force (which is Merchant Navy) and Nationality (U.K.) and he comes up straightaway - Date of Death 5/April/1943; and the fact that he is commemorated on the Merchant Navy War Memorial at Tower Hill, London. But you may have to contact the Maritime Museum at Greenwich or the Imperial War Museum to find out the names of ships sunk on that day ?? Good Hunting !
