Have read with interest the reports of the sinking of the ORONSAY on 9th October 1942. It happens that my sister and I were evacuated to Canada by the CORD (Childrens Overseas Reception Board) in August 1940. I was ten years old and my sister Pamela Mary was eight. We travelled out on HMT Oronsay and I still have a little blue copy of the New Testament given to me by S.A.R.Guest the Chaplin on the ship. It happens that my birthday is also the 9th October. Both of stayed in Regina in Canada foe over four years which was a life changing experience before returning to UK in 1944.
