August 1959 royal pioneer corps to Cyprus help required
« on: Saturday 23 August 14 12:07 BST (UK) »
My father left Southampton on 20/8/1859 for Cyprus and I'm trying to find out what troopship it may have been?  Hopefully someone might know?

Confusion: 1859 (text) or 1959 (heading)?  It must be 1959, as the RPC did not exist in the 19th Century!

The poster says it was his father so it must be 1959  :)
