3rd Eng/Off. John A. "Big Johnny" Ewings . Merchant Marine from 24 Crawford St., Partrick, Glasgow, Scotland I've been searching high and low looking for information about a merchant marine ship that apparently left New York City for Panama possibly in May of 1945. The vessel, according to a letter Mr. Ewings wrote my uncle, was called "the Imperial Transport." I've been trying to find out what happened to this ship and a particular third engineer officer who may have boarded it by the name of John A. Ewings of Glasgow. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have letters the survivors of his family may want to have, including love poems for his wife, Pearl.

Sgt. Henry Tennyson "Bob" Exiled . Royal Air Force 207 Squadron from Market Harborough, Leics My father, Bob Exley, flew in Lancaster ME631 and was shot down in April 1944 and spent the next year in various camps including Stalag Luft VI. He rarely talked about it, but one evening late in his life, I got him to tell me abut being shot down and parachuting into trees in the Black Forest. He talked about the silence once he had landed after all the noise, and then the sound of the Squadron returning home, a lonely feeling.
In 2011, my daughter and I went to the site of the crash, to meet with other relatives of the crew members, and also to a German chap who had collected pieces of the plane as a boy, fascinated by the stories of planes coming down near his village. It was an incredibly moving and somewhat healing experience.
