Re: HMS ARBUTUS - SUNK 1917 - NOT 1942

Thanks for the offer Bruce (your e.mail) but I hope to get back to the NA's again in the near future. Was only there two weeks ago but went with so much to look at and so many things, including Arbutus, were uncompleted. Shall bear you in mind though if I can't get down. Do wish they'd hurry up with the refurbishment!!
Dennis, many thanks for your short history of Arbutus (1917). Strange that Arbutus (1942) should also be sunk in the same general area 25 years later. I've worked out the sinking as about 20 miles s.w. of Milford Haven. One of the stoker casualties came from our village just s.w. of Preston, Lancs, and went past his former home just today. Still searching for relatives.
Many thanks.
Stewart
