Trawlermen/minesweepers WWII
« on: Tuesday 15 February 11 15:38 GMT (UK) »
Lowestoft WWII.  Apparently trawlers were converted to minesweepers.  Can anyone help me find a Herbert Ward (born 1904) who was apparently a fisherman and went into the Merchant Navy on minesweepers.  He somehow fell down a companionway and ended up in a wheelchair.  He lived around Halesworth area in 1911 census.  Thanks for any help anyone an give.
