Looking forward to seeing your fathers photo.
I lost my father this past December 7th (anniversary of Pearl Harbour) he was 86 years young and a veteran of the Murmansk convoys.

He sailed in the only convoy to Murmansk that didn't have a RN escort (all escorts were diverted to the Sicily invasion)...only three ships ever returned.
I should imagine had both our fathers ever met they would have shared a mountain of memories and experiences.
God bless them all.
