RASC - Capel, Lewis, Yugor? and Stone

Thanks for the suggestion ScouseBoy - he was married in 1929. My mother in law cannot recall when he returned home - I keep trying clues that may jog her memory - problem is not much was talked about it when he was alive.

My Father Jack Lee RASC T/99927  also got out at St Nazaire on the day after the Lancastria was sunk but He said he was on the "Ben MY Chree", an Isle of Man packet steamer and landed on the 20th June in Plymouth but there is no record of this ship, The Lancastria and Orondsey were load by ferry being too large to enter habour and he was definetly loaded by gangplank onto a small ship as was Wilfred Oldham and Neville Chesterton according to their memoirs but they don't identify their ship. anyone got any thing on this mystery ship?

There are daily Royal Navy diary entries which summarise events during WW2.

But if you look at convoyweb  you may be able  to type in the port and the date and it will show ship arrivals.

"Floristan"  was one ship leaving st Nazaire on the night of  17/18 June 1940.
