I doubt any of the links above will give much on actual personal experiences because merchant navy correspondence was heavily censored.

Below is a link to one experience but you will find that most families allowed their loved ones material to be archived.

I'd be tempted to contact an author of WWII merchant written material and seek their help.

On a personal note I have many memories passed down to me by my father who served in the Spanish Civil War right through to 1948 as well as his discharge book (previously only seen by Steve).

Don't feel I'll be insulted if you decline but you are welcome to a copy should you want one.
