HMS Gulland (T 365) of the Royal Navy - British MS Trawler of the Isles class - Allied Warships of WWII - uboat.net Sources ADM 173/19189 Too fast for me tonight TD Trawler HMS Gulland (T239) HMT Gulland was commissioned into British Royal Navy in 1943 to counter the German submarine threat. After the war, she was sold to a Belgian company in Mar 1946 for civilian service
Thanks guys Tony that is more then I had found out TD thanks for the birth and death details I have ordered death certificate to get a hold of his record I have his medal box named as LT but cannot find his promotion. Only as sub Lt. Interesting he had merchant navy experience may have to try MN records Thanks Guys James
Note that he was passenger, not crew. He was travelling with his father. His father was born in Amsterdam and applied for naturalisation 2 March 1905
My free naval list site is down at the moment I have traced his A/T/Sub Lt and T/Sub Lt appointments in London gazette but his medal box is to Lt Can anyone help confirm when promoted to Lt
