Hi,
My uncle was a Swedish sailor and during WV II he worked mostly for the Norwegian companies. He got a medal and diploma from HM king Olav for his efforts towards Norway. One of the ship he worked at, m/s Secilia, was destroyed by the Germans, but the crew was rescued. This knowledge was new to us, my uncle didn't want to talk about the war. About 1945 we think the boat he was on was completly destoyed in the Channel, we think,and he was the only survivor. He was in a hospital in Belgium for about two years.So my question is: where can I find information about these sailors?
