MY late father, Jamaican WWII veteran Simeon George Rowe, returned to Britain on the iconic former troop ship the Empire Windrush that docked at Tilbury on June 22 1948 after a 5,000-mile voyage.
Passenger number 830, he went to Birmingham, in the West Midlands, with four other friends who’d also been onboard, because an earlier Jamaican arrival had a place for them to live in Thornhill Road, Handsworth.
