John Caruana from UK Chatham said... 22/10/2006  Maltese Names I cannot help noticing the number of Maltese names mostly catering who appear on your list. I met one of the survivors sone 5 years ago while on a visit to Malta. I cannot recall the name. he was in a retirement home there. malcolm Kershaw from Sheffield said... 16/10/2006  George Kershaw My Dad was George Kershaw, eveyone at home called him Arthur (his 2nd name). He died when I was 5 in 1968, so I never really knew him. If anyone has anything at all, that could give me an insight to his younger years that would be good. After leaving the navy, he did various things, including being a boxer at fair grounds (a member of the public would select 1 of about 7 boxers from a line up and choose to fight them)The good old days! Eventually he got a proper job and became a carpenter.
