William departed on the
Diogenes
26 Feb 1926 and he was a Dreadnought Boy.

William is listed on page 18 and 45, and the welfare officer's report of the journey starts at page 39. These are usually fairly good to read and cover behaviour, activities and amenities onboard. The welfare officers always seem to me to spend most of the voyage trying to keep the boys and girls apart.

He arrived home from Sydney on 13 Feb 1930 on the
Orama
. His home address was 19 Wilderness Lane, Great Barr and I see that his parents were at number 37 Wilderness Lane in 1939 so I assume this is the correct passenger list.
