The Balmoral Restaurant - 1954 Crew
The photo below, believed to have been taken late in 1954, is of the Balmoral Restaurant staff. Research is still continuing, but the photograph was probably taken ahead of the 1954 Christmas Cruise or the 1955 Great World Cruise. These were the earliest dates that Sidney Gabbott was Chief Steward on board Caronia.
My thanks to Pete Jelley for providing the photo, and his help in being able to identify most of these guys depicted here, even all these years later.
