Kevin,
I am so excited - my Dad must have been on the Wayland at the same as yours.
We have this weird list of ports which made no sense until I read your post here. I think my dad only made it to Kilindini. He ended up in hospital [poss. with jandice]. He used to tell me this story about getting inoculated on board ship and his whole watch got ill in Africa and many went to Nairobi General Hospital. Would you know anything about this?
I've also got his service number but don't really know where to look for further information. Any ideas which could help me trace him after he left the Wayland? My mum's got some old photos of Dad in Africa in 1943ish.
All those fantastic war stories he used to tell seem that much more real after reading your post - thanks,
Purple Princess
