HMS TUNISIEN F 706
ex-USS CROSLEY DE 108

Old french sailor of D.E. (ex USS CROSLEY DE 108) is very happy to send you a photography of his ship. On this boat I began my seaman life and I spent several months and I enjoyed it
very much (1956 - Algerian war). That is the reason why I am very happy to contact other sailors as was myself. I have appreciated your web site.
Best regards,
