Campaigning World War Two Merchant Navy hero dies:
A CAMPAIGNING Arctic Convoy veteran has lost his final battle.
Former Merchant Navy seaman Orston Bulman, of Cleadon, has died aged 94.
The chief engineer, who sailed on the biggest Arctic Convoy – the PQ16 – was admitted to South Tyneside District Hospital last Tuesday after suffering from abdominal pain, and died of heart failure on Saturday.
“He would have loved the stamps:
Royal Mail stamps that have just been released in honour of the Merchant Navy. He would think it was a lovely way to be recognised and think they were wonderful.
