The Friendship

of

Mickey and Spooner

Taken from

‘The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru’

By Tony Banham

The friendship between Frank Myles and Bill Spooner lasted throughout their captivity and would have carried on after liberation but unfortunately they lost touch and neither could trace the other down.
