Good morning everyone. I hope I am posting this in the correct place and that maybe some of you could help me.
Briefly, my father was serving on board HMS Terpischore in the Aegean Sea in 1944 when this destroyer and others in the company sank German submarine U407. There were 47 survivors who were taken aboard the destroyer just off Milos and from one of the survivors my father took a German Reichmark note and wrote on the back, at the time "taken from survivor of U407 sunk by HMS Terpischore and company at 0444 on 19th September 1944 etc etc................."
My father passed away in 1990 and this currency note together with many others he collected during the war years passed to me. I have always wanted to return this note to any survivor or survivor's family but it has taken until now for me to start searching.
I do hope you can help. Thanks.
