Hi JT,
We have discussed your Great Uncle before, you must be incredibly proud.
It was only with the recent passing of my Father and the re discovery of his medals which included a Naval General Service medal (Clasp Brunei), which reminded me to re open a past project on the "Amethyst". I have managed to scrounge a loan of the book that Frank mentioned. Hopefully it will provide the information that I require.
