From: Free Thinking Doggie
When WW2 was on, he was evacuated from his home in Bootle (near the docks, a very popular target for the Luftwaffe) to Southport. Later after the war he joined the Merchant Navy as an officer cadet, and whilst he was away at sea, his parents & rest of the family took a one way ship to Australia. He always used to like going to Southport years later, we used to go to a Chinese restaurant on Lord Street there when I was maybe 10. Later, in 1953, his ship travelled to Melbourne and he was able to visit his mum, dad, sister & brother... RHODESIA STAR, the ship on which he travelled to Australia in 1953 Edited on 06/06/2026 at 10:38:36.
