The vessel records are split into three roughly equal sections to speed downloading.

The black text in the lists is taken from the original Commonwealth War Graves Commission Register, issued as a bound volume and retained by the RNPS Associaton office. Much of the blue text at the end of many records is as a result of further research and the source of the information is given in brackets.

Details have been checked and re-checked but there will doubtless still be some errors. If any are spotted please email.  If any error is of fact, please supply details of source of correction.
