Frank E Bryer
US Army
My father, Frank E. Bryer, served with the US Army and is trying to find information about the Aronda. He thinks he was on it in 1943-from Italy, through Suez canal, North Africa and on further East. He said the ship was bombed by the Germans. We can find no information about this ship, very little to go by. Can anyone help?
Update:
The Aronda (II) was a merchant/troop ship,
owned by the British India Steam Navigation Company but conscripted for war
service, she was built in 1941 and sailed until 1963.
