I have attached a photo of my Dad & comrades sitting round a table - 2 questions
My Dad was Merchant Navy, what is the other uniform in the photo. He paid a lot to have this photo made good so it was obviously important to him.
What was "PET MILK"?

All the "ships" you mention are shore establishments.

Thank you.  I have printed the info regarding The Merchant Gunners.  Very interesting.

My father said he was in the Merchant Navy 1942 - 1946, but I have just found some papers that say royal Navy.  I think he was a rear gunner.   I was trying to find what ships he was on. On the sheet I've found it has - "Glendower", "Wellesley" would these be in inverted commas as they were training ships?  Then I have President 111; Drake; Drake1V; Drake. I looked on the War record site but could find nothing. Are you able to see where these ships would have sailed & any info on them at all
My granddaughter is doing a project for uni & wanted some information.  Do you know how to find what war medals he should have?
Thank you

Here's my work on that third photo. Let me know if you want any changes. Hope you enjoy!

That is really good as well. You definitely don't go unappreciated!

Did you have any luck with the second one?

Thank you very much

Thanks for your kind words. Getting to work on the last of the 3 pics. (the first one you posted). It will take some time of course
Thank you. There’s no rush. I do appreciate what you are doing.

Glad you're happy. When I looked at the initial photo, I didn't see the gentleman was barefoot. Much easier to notice now.

Did you want my take on the other one as well?
That would be fantastic. Thank you.

How strange having no shoes on.

I have attached another one, (I think)if you have time would be great for a clean up. Do you think any of the women look like any in the other photo? That first has come to life, keep looking at it.  I really appreciate you doing them.  Thank you.
