Commas after Netherlands, England, Sierra Leone, Southampton, Northern Ireland, India (MOS:GEOCOMMA)
I got these, I think - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Little bit confused here, probably because my geography of the UK is so bad. Was it built at the Neptune Yard at Walker-on-Tyne, or the Wallsend West Yard at Wallsend?
Sounds like your knowledge is better than mine!  I confused the company HQ (Wallsend) with the yard (Neptune, at Walker).  Now fixed - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Any idea of the size of the crew?
Found the original crew in Clegg and added - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
fitted with pintle-mounted Bren light machine guns as a rudimentary defence against low-level air attack That would work well against a modern jet aircraft.
Indeed, suspect it was largely of psychological benefit! - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Med Link Lines is red-linked but Howill Shipping is not?
Redlinked Howill and Namora, not familiar with them but they seem reasonable targets for articles - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
She sailed for the United Kingdom on 23 June carrying returning troops of 2nd and 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment. "Battalions"

Hi Hawkeye7.  Sorry I forgot to watchlist this, so I missed your review.  I'm just waiting for a copy of Clegg (1969) which should arrive in the next week or so before I look at this one again. Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 06:50, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Hawkeye7, I've added a few more details from Clegg and hopefully addressed your comments above.  Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
