I have a portrait of him drawn by the QM' s massuer dated 1932. I know he was on them during the war doing troop transport for US forces to The UK for D.Day. He was on a number of other ships but I no longer have his seamanship log book. He died of cancer in 1975. I still have a number of photographs of him, with Film stars taken on board. It would be interesting to talk to someone who knew him during that time Does anyone recall an Alfred Powell Cain, he was on the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary.

I also recognized so many of the names such as Pat Fison who I think was the first person to call me 'Haggis' ! I'd be really happy to hear from any ex-Cunarders with whom I sailed in the 1960s who may remember me - the memories of these days will never lose their charm and I am sorry that as life went on I did not keep in touch with so many colleagues from these happy days.

('56 - '63). Would be good to hear from anybody who remembers me and hope to join you if possible at next year's reunion.

It would be so wonderful to read first hand accounts about life aboard Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth as they represented the first 'Golden Age' of luxury travel by sea. As always, an enthralling blog. All the best! Maureen really should write a book about her experiences aboard the great Cunarders of the past and the early years of QE2 in the late 60’s early 70’s.

It would be so wonderful to read first hand accounts about life aboard Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth as they represented the first ‘Golden Age’ of luxury travel by sea.

As always, an enthralling blog.

All the best!
