> > My father is listed as signing up with the 8th Infantry Division in the Soviet Union on March 30, and coming under British Command in Persia on April 1. For some time, I assumed this meant he arrived in Pahlevi April 1. However, following extensive discussion of this date on forum several of us feel confident now that April 1 was a "deemed" date for coming under British Command because some of us know for certain that arrival was prior to or some days after April 1. So I raise the question in case your father, as an aviator, may have been deemed to have arrived in Pahlevi March 27 as soldiers like my father were deemed to come under British Command April 1 even if they had not yet arrived.

From Krasnovodsk we were put on a fishing ship to Pahlevia in Persia (now Iran). There was a terrible storm on the Caspian Sea that night; the ship was crashing through the waves and was so crowded there wasn?€?t room to stand. Everything went over board ?€" the vomit, the excreta, and the dead. (A similar vessel with Poles on board sunk that night, with all souls)."

The ship departed about 2 p.m. The sea was very calm, but after awhile there were gentle long waves that you couldn't see, but we could start to feel it. Then fog arrived, and a storm started. Many of the people started to get sick. It turned out that there was no drinking water on the ship. After that salty soup and salted fish, after those herrings, there was no water. It was a tragedy, truly.
> > The storm was so huge on this sea, the Caspian, that it was literally throwing the ship around. Water was flowing over the deck, where the people were, and several were probably washed overboard without anyone knowing about it. I had to run to the side every so often to be sick. If the ship had tilted and a wave came, I also would have been washed overboard since there was no way I could hold on the the sort of barrier there.
> > Unfortunately, the ship was damaged during the night, during the storm. The rudder was ripped off or something like that. We drifted on the Caspian Sea for about three days, without water, without anything. I had to endure the sun because there was no kind of shade, so you had to stay out in the sun. By the third day you didn't care if the ship would sink or not, a person was so exhausted. We even tried to haul up some water, from the sea, but that made for an even worse effect. It was not until the fourth day that a different ship drew up and we transferred to it - on the sea, on the very sea.
