"Some of the websites that have been particularly useful sources of information are: Convoyweb, (Mike Holdoway, Tony Cooper and Don Kindell); Mercantile Marine,(Ron (Steve) Wylie, again Hugh MacLean, Roger, Billy McGee and Ray Buck); Warsailors, (Siri Lawson); www.ww2talk.com/forum/war-sea/19579-merchant-navy-awards (Diane and Hugh, yet again?). Many contributors to the forums on these and other websites have also helped, where I have kept records these people are mentioned in relevant footnotes. Over the years many other people have given me the benefit of their knowledge. I am most grateful to them all."
