I will volunteer to guide personnel for the search of Montevideo
Maru in Cape Luzon.
I would love to get to the bottom of this mystery,and be able to lay my father too rest in my mind.
Hi Montevideo Maru Foundation,
My father Malcolm Thompson 91 residing in Christchurch New Zealand WW2 Veteran 1st Independent Company and a mate of Lex Frazer. I am Malcolm Thompson’s son Ross Thompson and I reside full time in the Philippines and own two Scuba Diving centres here.
I would love to see the Montevideo Maru located and to be able to offer closure for the relatives of those brave men who perished on the Montevideo Maru.
How can I help?
Best regards,
Ross “Roscoe” Thompson
