Hello
I just found something interesting (maybe someone can help me figure this out)??

While looking on the site (Canuck) page I found a mention of the Troop Ship ( S.S. Pasteur) or the ( S.S. Louis Pasteur) which Mr. A.E. Ted Bishop sailed from Halifax to England on, June 10 1940. http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/

My uncle Lee Frank Long also sailed from Halifax to England on the S.S. Pasteur on April 04 arriving on April 12 1944. as per: the National Archives.

This is the only reference on this ship that I can find anywere!!
I am guessing that it is the SAME ship???.

The interview also talked about where Mr. Bishop was stationed in England.

Does anyone know how I can find out more information on this Troop Ship and where it sailed to or from : about the time of April to July 1944.

Thanks and still enjoying all the posts.
Jim

Re: S.S. Pasteur or the S.S. Louis Pasteur
 

Hi Jim;

The S.S. Pasteur and the S.S. Louis Pasteur are one in the same.

S.S. Louis Pasteur, officially called HMT E632 - (His Majesty's Transport E632)

Hope this helps.

Cheers :)

Hi
Thanks Mark

Is there any way I can find out information on the SHIP'S sailings
ports of call for England or Normandy for my time frame??.

I guess in Normandy it would be the Beaches or Mulberry harbors for the reinforcements arriving about June 12th and later.!!

Thanks
Jim
