My Father in law, Geoff Mager , will be 90 in April and served on the Bulolo. Being a South Sfrican his nickname was "Springs" as in Springbok and if his memory is correct was one of only two South Africans on the ship. He was an Able seaman who served at times as the Helmsman on the Admiral's Barge. He was also the Bosun's yeoman, manned the guns, and oversaw the maintenance of all the upper deck rigging.
He recalls he slept in Mess 12. Are there any old shipmates out there who may remember him? He especially remembers remebers a Fred Phillips who came from the Carlisle area.
