HELLO,
IM LOOKING FOR ANY INFO ON STORY MY FATHER WOULD OFTEN
TELL US ABOUT, HE SERVED AS A STOKER ON THIS DESTROYER
FROM 1941 TILL 1945. HE RECOUNTS ESCORTING A CONVOY TO
CANADA, DURING THE WAR AND OF A SINKING DURING THAT TIME
PRIMARILY DUE TO THE WITCHES CAPTAIN BREAKING RADIO
SILENCE, I THINK A MERCHANT VESSEL WAS SANK AS A RESULT
BY A U- BOAT MY FATHERS BOAT DID NOT STOP TO PICK UP ANY
SURVIVORS AND THIS WORRIED HIM UP TILL HIS DEATH 3 YEARS
AGO. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
THIS INCIDENT AND BE PLEASED TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE WHO
COULD TELL ME MORE OF THE FACTS

IN ANTICIPATION
THANKS STEVE SAUNDERS
