FOR the last six years, I have been reuniting those who have served in the Royal Navy through the organisation, RN Shipmates.
Many of them tell me they joined the Navy with a friend from 'such and such school,' did their training with them, then lost touch when they went to sea in different ships and would now like to be reunited with them.
Could I please ask all secretaries of "old school" associations to tell me a little about their school and give me their name and address?
In return, I will list their association in the next issue of our magazine Lost Shipmates.
I have found ex-Royal Navy people from as far back as 1936 and as far away as the outback of Australia. So time and distance is no barrier. Please support me to extend my hobby even further, thus finding even more people.
