Eric Victor Sanders
Royal Air Force Regiment
Although unsure.. it is a process of elimination.. I am pretty certain that my dad Eric Sanders would have been on this carrier late 1945 during a passage to Singapore and on to Hong Kong.
Whilst on board he got called to the office of Group Captain Edward John Corbally who had read my dad's pre-war records of serving as a silver service waiter in a top London Hotel and the Holborn Restaurant. Group Captain Corbally appointed Eric as his valet.
Group Captain Corbally was the commander in charge of the post liberation of Hong Kong ( from my dad's now vague recollection )
If anybody reading this could verify it. it would be useful.
