Peter Thomson,
I was on board Bulolo for the evacuation of Sumatura ,and well remember this rescue operation.But we were the right vessel for this operation.
One of our crew eventually married one of the evacuees .I beleive he had won the George Cross during the war at sea,but I cant remember his name.With Research one may be able to find this out.Sleeping on deck was no hardship in that climate!
Sincerly Reg Woollard.
P.S.Iwas also on Largs Bay,also Comb. Ops. Ship before Bulolo.
