Ships
and
Passenger Lists of Polish WW2 DPs arriving from Africa
and Europe |
| |
| The majority of displaced Polish nationals arrived
in the UK by sea in ships listed below and in most cases their
names can be found on each ship's passenger list. There are at least 3
sailings
where the ship's manifest states the number of aliens that sailed
but the actual passenger list is missing, . There were also at least 15
overland transports by rail from Italy which carried over
4000, mainly women and children, from camps in Trani and Barlette. So
far no passenger list for those evacuees has been found. Most of the medical
staff and equipment from Polish field hospitals in those areas also made
their way to the UK either by train or ship. I have been unable to
find lists of Polish troops
arriving in the UK. Civilian records to which I have
access simply state that a contingent of so many troops sailed but
there are no nominal lists, presumably, these will be held by the
Ministry of Defence and I have yet to find them. |
