Mary:

I have not had contact with any from your voyage. I did have contact
with one warbride from the Peterborough area who was on the same sailing
as me and also with the sister of a boy (since deceased) who had also
come on the same voyage.

From your date of travel I would take it that you travelled at a time
when the ship was used mostly as a troopship -- is that correct?

My memories of the voyage together with images of momentos that my
mother saved are at:

Do you have any such momentos/photographs?

It was nice to hear from you.
