Dear Peter,
Great website. Thanks for all the work. I too am the son of a sailor from that era who was on the Marblehead before, during, and after her bombing. As time permits, I write biographies on the sailors who were on Marblehead at that time. These are posted on http://www.ussmarblehead.com. I have not yet covered all of the info on your site, but I am wondering whether or not you have passenger lists for the Feb – Mar 1942 escape from Tjilatjap to Fremantle, if such were kept. If they were kept but you don’t have them, do you know who might have copies of them?
Many thanks again,
Steve, son of Frank V. Wade, BM2c, USS Marblehead, 1939-1945
