Can anyone advise me where to look for a merchant seaman's grave, please? This man was not a casualty of the war but drowned at Dunkirk docks in 1939 when he accidentally fell into the water during a blackout.. The family were originally sent details of the burial by police at Dunkirk but in the years since, an Uncle has destroyed the record, thinking that no-one would ever want to go and view the grave.. Now the granddaughter is seeking help to locate the grave of this Goole-born seaman.....I've tried searching several sites with no luck... including Find a Grave, CWGC, National Archives...Name...Alfred Henry Sheppard, Born Wressle- 1883 and was aboard the ss.Kalua at the time of his death...

Hello
Does anyone have a copy of the above publication and willing to look up to see if James Ryan who served on the tug Seaman is mentioned.He was awarded the George Medal for gallantry in 1941 for shooting down a condor bomber. I have some information but was made aware there was a newspaper clipping in Hull newspapers but have been unable to find it.

Thank you.
