Time for some of you other members to dig around and see what you have.
Attaching two from NZ shipping which were enclosed when I applied to join them at one time. Also the two from the DWS which I joined in the mid 60's for a couple of years. Being young and impulsive resigned and went back to sea.

Those DWS papers bring back memories! Many married foreign wives although I do recollect that you had to submit your resignation along with request to marry.
