Hello to all,
I'm from Blackburn, Lancashire originally but now living in Surrey.
I've just read a few sample introductions and maybe I'm in the wrong place. I don't have a military vehicle and presently no plans to acquire any.
My interest here is to research a WWII hospital ship called the HMHS Amarapoora. My Dad served on that ship from 1944-46. He's still around and has given me some information but I wondered if there was anyone else here with any information or interest in that particular vessel and the Far East voyages of 1944-47 in particular. I already have some first hand accounts, photographs and even some video footage of the ship in Singapore, 1945.
Best wishes to everyone and their own particular interests.
Thanks,
Big John

Hi Andy,
My Dad also served on this ship. He was on the first Far East voyage as a SBA/Petty Officer from 1944-46. He's still around. I have been looking around various message boards but so far I've not come across anyone else still surviving.
I have all sorts of photographs and things.
Regards,
John
