Info: Australian? Allied Unit, George Eirmson Long - Able Seaman - Australian Hospital Ship Centaur

Why was he with this service? Any information would be appreciated.



Need assistance on Who/Where/What/How for this man who is on the Australian Commemorative Roll which is for those "Australians" who died in other Allied Services. If proved not to be "Australian" their names will not be removed from the Commemorative Roll however their details will be updated accordingly.

I have researched the Air Force members but there are many more Land and Sea deaths in a myriad of different forces.

There is not a lot of information on these people that can be accessed easily and I ask your assistance to fill in at least some of the gaps.

Hopefully some relatives may see this thread and add more.

I will make a different thread for each along the way as they may tend to get lost if clumped together.

Thanks Hugh.

Possibly the anglicized version of "Seyðisfjörður" the port/harbour in Iceland however someone may prove me wrong!



Cheers
