Re: U-776's Trip to London!

<HTML>Dear Terry,
A very interestering story on U 776, did you know that some Members of
Parliment ( Lords ) were on board touring the boat when moored in London.
I knew a New Zealander who was a submariner from HMS/M Torbay,
he was placed on U-776 at the end of the war and toured Britian on her.
His name was Philip Le Gros or Froggy owing to his French name.
At the end of the tour of Britian the crew were told they could take any thing
they wanted from the U boat apart from personel items eg uniforms photos
etc So Philip took the UZO attack bionoculers which I took some photos
of , Philip died a few years ago and his son now has the binoculers.
I wonder how many other items were taken from U-776
Any one have a clue ?</HTML>
