Links, Sources & Acknowledgements
I have so many people to thank that I don't really know where to begin, needless to say it is thanks to many individuals that I have been able to establish the identity of "Pozarica" and to many more that I've gained more thorough information on this ship.
My search is far from over, so if you have anything to add to these pages, no matter how irrelevant you feel it is, then please drop me a line.

Without the assistance of George Mitchell and his daughters Sue and Helen I would probably still be scrabbling around in the dark. George served on HMS Pozarica up until her loss in January 1943.
Special thanks to you all.........
