If someone jumped ship, then later returned to the uk working their passage as crew, when they tried to leave the ship in the uk would they have been arrested as a deserter? I'm talking about 1960. Anyone any ideas??? |

Well I,m assuming they had their passport in their right name,so if the was no record at the port of entry of deserters or people to look out for.then logically i would think that they would just show their passport & be passed thro customs. Only an observation tho. Shirley |

He was in the Royal Navy, would that make a difference? |

Yes, as he was RN he would be subject to arrest by the Navy or by the police acting on their behalf, and subject to Court Martial. Regards Keith |
