Hi jo new, many thanks for the link but it is the wrong ship, no worries tho` thankyou for your response.
Hi KGarrad, yes thats the ones, he ended up the captain of the "SS AFRICA" before it was taken over by the admiralty, it then struck a mine in the channel in september 1915, I wonder if he was still the captain or if it would have been a "military" captain.
