Quoy.

There is some new Merchant Navy 'stuff' on the National Archives site. Well worth checking it out.

" If you've discovered a seafaring ancestor in your family tree you may also be interested in our Merchant Navy medal cards from the First World War and the Second World War.

Merchant shipping movement cards for the Second World War are also available and there's a handy guide to interpreting them, using the SS Athenia as an example. Search the records now*.
