These were comments from yesterday's post on "With Relish: 1942."
There was some discussion as to whether one was drinking a Pepsi or grape Nehi.
The two Chinese sailors were off the M.V. Glenstrae out of Liverpool.
The Glenstrae was launched in 1920, but not delivered until 1922 by Harland & Wolff of Glasgow and was originally named the M.V. Glengarry until 1939.
It was 485.6 feet long.
On September 7, 1940, it took a direct hit during an air raid over London Dock.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
