THE M.V. CHINDWARA - ANECDOTES

Ask anyone, who served some or all of his apprenticeship on a cadet training ship, if he remembers the Bosun, and the chances are that you will be told a story or two that leave you in no doubt as to the special nature of that particular character. Bertie Miller was the Bosun on Chindwara, and he was most certainly a character who deserves to be remembered. It would therefore seem entirely appropriate to ask those of you who sailed with Bertie to pen your memories of him so that they can be collated into a tribute to him. Sir Robin Knox Johnston, Commander Terry Lilley RD* RNR (Retired), Glenn Baker, Barrie Sanderson and Tom Miller-McCall have kindly contributed their recollections of Bertie Miller, and they are available for download as a pdf here.

John Briggs has very kindly put together a most interesting collection of photographs and reminiscences about the life of a cadet on Chindwara, and it is available for download as a pdf here.

Any anecdotes that you may have of Chindwara would be most gratefully received.
