Information -
Dear
Mr. Keen,
I am
trying to trace records of my maternal grandfather, Eric White
Davis. Family legend says that he was a purser with the Union
Castle line, but I have no further information about this, e.g. no
exact dates, no details of which ships he served on, etc. It seems
likely that this would have been at some period shortly after WW1,
in which he served in the Royal Artillery, and then in the army of
occupation.
My
mother, who is now 86, has no recollection of ever seeing her
father, and he may or may not have died / been divorced at some time
in the early 1920s. A general websearch of his name + union castle
line brought up your website, but I cannot find any reference to him
on it. I am extremely eager to find out what happened to him, and
to allow my mother to learn something of his life.
If you
can help in any way, I should be most grateful.
Mrs. J.
R. Newman
