Master Mariner. James Ninnis Edwards

from:Barry, South Wales
Capt James Edwards was master of the SS Trevanion, a merchant vessel involved in the Atlantic Convoys during WW2.
He was involved in the Battle of the Atlantic and the Battle of the River Plate, his ship being sunk and the crew taken prisoner on the German pocket battle ship Graf Spee.
I have many documents etc. relating to this episode of history as well as his other wartime experiences.
