TROOPSHIPS 1939 - 1961

[seaweed]

Tracing the movements of Troopships and what units they transported, is always difficult due to security issues.
Given the the information you have posted I am afraid the search paramiters are too large.
I note you have made a post on the main WW2 board. Let's see if there is any information posted which may give a clue.

Thank you for reply Seaweed.  Yes, I hope something might come from the main WW2 board but understand it is all some time ago!  Meanwhile, do the dates quoted give any clue as to which ship?  If not, what other information would enable the field to be narrowed?

Again, thank you for all your efforts.

I am trying to find the date in 1954 when I sailed from Liverpool to Kure aboard the HMT Lancashire .
I think it would be between August and December.
Whilst we were on route a lad fell down some stairs and died from his injuries and he was buried at sea.
Hope you can help.
Best regards,
Jim Tilbury

Hi Seaweed,
Hopefully you can help. I am trying to find out if the Devonshire sailed from Southampton to Cyprus on the 1st July 1959 and when it reached Limassol. I believe my late father was on this ship.
It would be much appreciated if you could confirm this.
Thank you for your help.
Peter.

Seaweed, could you let me know if the City of Exeter was a troopship on 5th November 1941, or was it just a normal passenger ship at this time?

If it was, would you have any idea when it arrived at Calcutta.

The reason for my query is that my parents left Glasgow aboard, for Calcutta in 1st class. He was a missionary, and my mother was a housewife, on the record I have from the National Archives.
