That's perfect, Gordon! THANKS!

My father did have some navigation books that he saved, so it is

possible that he was a Steuermann. I have little to go on.

Marion,

Here is a better explanation than my previous post re the ensignia.

Regards,

Gordon

 

Sorry I didn't post this while he was alive. The image that I posted is cropped from

one that he is in. I don't know who the three are that had the shoulder insignias,

so I don't feel comfortable posting their faces. As I said, he didn't talk about his

service, so I don't think I can help much.

Cheers,

Marion

Marion,

I have been looking for someone who served in the GM/SA for some time.  If you have any pictures or any info about your father's service in the GM/SA I would be very grateful if you would share things with me.  If you would like more information, general or specific, from my archives please just ask

Regards,

Gordon

My father was one of a four-man mine-sweeper. The photo I have of him doesn't show his

insignia, but the other three are as shown here. Can someone explain the meanings of

the symbols and what the duties of the "4th man" may have been? He's passed away now

and didn't want to speak of the war.

Thanks,

Marion
