Hello, everyone.
The SS Tyndareus was mined by 'Wolf' and after an extraordinary evacuation of 1030 soldiers, made it to Simonstown.
I'm looking for a crew list.
I know the official channels but, was wondering, does anyone have one? The story surrounding this ship warrants keen interest from many people, and maybe you are one of them.
Thanks in anticipation,
Su
P.S. Look up SS Tyndareus and see what I mean. Its well worth 5 minutes of your time.
