Source of Information
For the source of the information, please be as specific as possible. The goal is to be able to let future researchers find the source some day.

If the source of the information is your personal experience (that is, you were on the ship), then please so state, and give your name and complete unit specification at the time you shipped out. It would also be helpful if you could identify the names of any other ships in the convoy with you.

Privacy Authorization
An important issue with the troop ship crossing page is privacy. There are unfortunately some unscrupulous people who think the web is their ticket to exploit whatever and whoever they find there.

Is it okay to post the text of your note(s), including your name and e-mail address and personal (to you and your family) information in your notes? If not, what limits do you want to put on what is made public?

The page of source information, to which the "source of information" field links, is intended to include submitters' e-mail notes as documentation. So your information will be included both in the list and on the sources page
