OK, he could have sailed late in the war, but I doubt much it was in 1939  |
Not totally impossible.....my father is 86 (still with us) and lied about his age. He was aboard a British merchantmen (Euphorbia) that was bombed in Barcelona harbour on May 14th 39.
I'd be more than happy to post images of his wartime papers if anyone is interested (Sailor Steve has long possessed copies).
If the aforementioned gent is a bit of a tom pepper I really don't see any potential for causing serious harm with his yarns.....we all know what effects alcohol can have on people.
