Hi Gary, Just over and see Christopher Deering was on some list or other. He always felt he was treated badly by the Irish State and served at sea until 1954. In one instance his Ship was blown up in Narvic Sound in 1940. Seven of them managed to swim ashore (Irish Press Dec 1940) including Tom Dixon from Towensend Street. They had to make their way over snowy mountains to Sweden without help from anyone....MancDeer
