I wish I could | remember the date, sorry, but she definitely was on the US-UK run in 1944 at | least - strange that she is not mentioned in any ships' lists that I have | seen on the internet. Somewhere she must be. | Regards, | Margaret | MPTalbot@comcast.net | ----- Original Message ----- | From: <JbarL@aol.com> | To: <WORLDWAR2-L@rootsweb.com> | Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 10:18 PM | Subject: [WORLD WAR II] Troop ship | | | > Is there any way to find the name of an English ship which transported | > American service men from Boston Port of Embarkation to Liverpool in | November of | > 1944 arriving there Nov 17, 1944. | > | > I know that the American ship Wakefield sailed about the same time but I | > have heard that there was an English ship which left Boston P of E | carrying | > American troops. | > | > Thanks | > | > Jessie, Calif | > | > | > ==== WORLDWAR2 Mailing List ==== | > To post queries/answers to the list, send an email to: | WORLDWAR2-L@rootsweb.com We are an international list.
