HMS HECLA was torpedoed 75 years ago at ten minutes to midnight on the 11 November 1942.

I have been researching the story of this naval disaster and the rescue of 558 survivors by HMS VENOMOUS for twelve years.

The complete story is told in Chapter 13 of A HARD FOUGHT SHIP: THE STORY OF HMS VENOMOUS published on the 9 May this year.

Please get in touch before the anniversary on Armistice Day if a member of your family served in HECLA.

I am telling the stories of the men in HECLA when it was torpedoeed on this page: [www.holywellhousepublishing.co.uk]
