"Having reached the age of 76 year’s and retired..now have time for reflection..Was wondering what happened to all the good people that served on HMS Enard Bay in the 50ies...A training ship at that time..I was a product of HMS Ganges 1951...After my stint in The Royal Navy, my spirit of adventure was still not fulfilled, so I wandered over to the united States."
