I am most interested in the correpondence re - HMS Alynbank. My father, Frederick Coward, served on her during Artic Convoy duty as a telegraphist. He tells a story of being in the radio room all night at action stations after an aircraft attack at dusk. In the morning, a hole was found in the side of the ship and on investigation an un-exploded bomb was found in the canvass locker under the radio room. If it had gone off - I wouldn't be here!
