Shipmates ahoy!

I WISH to bring to the attention of any your readers who may have an interest, the existence of the TS Vindicatrix Association. The Vindicatrix was a training ship based at Sharpness, Gloucestershire, where thousands of boys aged 15-17 trained for service in the British Merchant Navy, 1939-1966, many of whom gave their lives during WW2.
Our association is well established but we are trying to contact as many of these 'boys' as we can before they are too old to enjoy our regular reunions where we have the chance to meet old shipmates. Every effort is being made to see that period of our lives is not forgotten.
People interested should contact me, the correspondence secretary, by writing to me or calling 02392 583896.
