Very many thanks indeed to Ron Young for his information. 'Our' ship, the 'Ioannis P. Goulandris', was owned by "John P. Goulandris of Greece" according to the records I have seen. Would 'John P.' be in anyway related to 'J. N. Goulandris' of the company 'J. N. Goulandris and Z.Vrondisis', who were operating at the relevant time out of Andros in the Cyclades Islands group, in the Aegean Sea south-east of Athens?
I take it that the Bougie that Ron mentions is today's Béjaïa, towards the eastern end of Algeria's Mediterranean coast. Somewhere I have a photo of my late father, then a Captain in the Royal Tank Corps, bringing an LCT (Landing Craft Tank) into Bougie during the later phases of 'Operation Torch'. Small world.
Thanks again Ron.
