I am trying to write a biography on him. He was born 31 January 1928 in Dulwich (London) and he must have served either in the Merchant Navy or the Royal Navy from about 1946 to 1954. He seemed to have vanished around 1952 (his family has not seen him again until 1967) He never talked about his years in the Navy or the years until he turned up on the isle of Islay. It's a bit of a mystery. I have a photograph of him in uniform, hbut I really don't know which Navy it is. John Leary (who called himself Sean O'Leary oin Islay) died in 1987. I have never seen him alive, I came across his life as a painter on Islay by coincidence, but his story intrigued me. Does anyone know this man. I can mail the photograph. Hope to get some information.

Glenn, I agree with you entirely about those japs killing the whales as I too love animals especially bears and people are killing them too. Keep up the great work Bill and Julia as my mates who work on the river Thames may they be river pilots, Dockers or police look at your website every day and say it is THE BEST WEBSITE ever especially when you make it bigger, so lads dig out those old photos and send them to Bill and Julia, The merchant Navy is dead as we all know but not the website with all the lovely stuff that is on it there, so come on lads get these scanners going. God Bless. Eric. (KGV) Date: 01:16, 24th January From: Toby (Tommy) Slater Email: TobyandAnnabel@aol.com City/Country: West Cornwall, England Message:  Brilliant site! I was GSS April/June '62.
