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.
