Hi
My relative a Samuel H Tolley born 1917 in West Bromwich joined the Merchant or Royal Navy in the 1930s. He died of a sudden illness while at sea but no other information. My Nan was very fond of her brother and spoke about him ofton showing me photos of him in navy uniform. Did the Merchant Navy have a uniform? (sorry to show my ignorance). How would I go about obtaining more information.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards
Adrian
