George was born in 1914 in Lucq or Luqk or Lutsk nearest town Horof
Believe it is in Poland
He appears in the London Gazette 16 jan 1948
Is this to do with him being nationalised
Would there be further details on him I could get from somewhere

None of the places you mention appears to be in Poland. If you enter each one into "google maps" the only one that gets any results is LUTSK, which is in Western Ukraine towards the Polish border.
If you scroll back through the London Gazette issue you mention the on page 428 you will find the following heading / introduction:
LIST OF ALIENS to whom Certificates of Naturalization have been granted by the Secretary of State, and whose Oaths of Allegiance have been registered in the Home Office during the month of December 1947.
The date shown in each case is the date the Oath of Allegiance was taken.
So on page 428 you find the entry:
Nowaczek, George Jaroslav; Poland; Carpenter; 35 Claude Road, Cardiff. 16 December 1947.
Ancestry has a message board for Poland, so maybe that is somewhere to ask.

There is a Rudolf Nowaczek travelling to Sempleton Pasadena US in 1912. Rudolf a labourer born Russia, polish nationality. Last residence Hubin, Russia. He gives his wife's name Paulina as his contact in Hubin Russia.
I can't find a Templeton or Sempleton in Pasedena on google maps or a Hubin in Russia but there is a Hubyn Pershyi in the Ukraine which is about 38 kilometres from Lutsk.

He was a member of the crew, who had been at sea for 5 years. He was an A.B. (able bodied?) seaman. He left Cardiff on 25 April 1945. He was 5 foot 6 inches in height and weighed 168 pounds, and he had a scar on his right cheek. He was the only Polish member of the 40 strong crew, which was all British, someone originating from Finland who must have become a British citizen.
Just think he was at sea when the Germans surrendered.
