Given that the 'Remo' docked in Fremantle 4 Feb 1940, I guess that could be your man. He seems to have led a 'Boys Own' lifestyle

Thank you!
We got some of the ships he worked from 1911 to 1920, but far from complete. If you could find him on other crewlists we would be very thankful! Have some of his early postings from the Marconist Magazine, but need more to complete the story. WW1 postings are of special interest! We have some from the 1915 crewlists, and we know that he was 1.telegraphist on the Empress of Britain during her voyage to the Dardanelles from May 1915. |

Not many crew lists are online yet, unfortunately.

This man is almost like Forrest Gump Close to so many historical moments from WW1 to the end of WW2. Most is documented now, only these loose ends left.
The Songa was torpedoed on Januar 22 1940. Murray is interviewed by different English and Irish newspapers. A colorful person! Shortly after being torpedoed he boarded another Norwegian ship as radio operator. He finished this assignment in late March or early April, and arrived in Bergen on April 6 1940. His trip to Australia was either very short, or took place after July 3 1940 |

I don't know if he is your man but there is a service record for a Thomas William Murray at Bletchley Park (look up veterans on website ). They employed wireless operators as well as code breakers.

Thank you for your effort!
We got his US draft registration card, and the passenger manifest from his trip from Belize. After MI6 released his service record we informed Bletchley Park We need his India connection from around 1910, his stay at the Curragh army camp, some of his assignments at sea during WW1 and when/why he went for a short trip to Australia in late 1940 or early 1941.
