Not much interest in this one. I have no experience with british Merchant Marine items, so I have a couple of questions. Here they come. Is it correct that the stripes on this jacket is for a chief engineer? Is it possible to determine the age of the jacket from the style of the insignia? The only markings inside the jacket, is from a taylor in Sunderland, and the label is undated. I would appreciate any help. I'm trying to find as much information as possible, about him and his jacket. It would be nice to have something to tell my children when they get a bit older. He died before I met my wife, but from what I have understood, he did not like to talk about his service during the war. Is it possible to contact an archive, to find out something about his service in the Merchant marines?
All the best
