I was going through my late uncles papers etc that my aunty sent last year. I found old photos of him on the RMS Oronsay, He left home at 16 to go and make a life in Australia. This was done through the scouts/big brother movement. |

My brother worked for Cunard Line, mostly back and forth from Southampton to New York and chiefly on the Queen Mary. This was 1950s and early 1960s. |

Probably - the menus were compiled for a whole voyage in booklet form. This would in turn determine the quantity of various stores that were loaded. (Tinned, frozen, chilled, etc) |
