My father was told that during the war someone had seen footage of his dad boarding a ship in world war 2. It was the pathe news footage. This seems to be when he boarded the SS Yoma possilble on the 16th June 1943 this was torpedoed the following day and my grandad was killed.
Is there anyway of finding out if he is on a newsreel
