Default QARNNS Search/Contact

I know ths is a bit obscure, but I would love to make contact with one of the QARNNS nurses that served on HMHS Uganda in the Falklands War. I realize the chances of do so are slim to none probably, but how would I even attempt to go about it?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Terry

Not sure if you have seen this but there is a SS Uganda trust website (link attached), not sure how up to date it is or indeed if its still active but the Trustees are listed on there and may be able to put you in touch with someone.

Worth a try?

Regards, Simon.
