As
today is Remembrance Day here in the UK I thought I would show this
memorial to the submariners who were lost during World War Two
The Dundee International Submarine Memorial is sited between Victoria and Camperdown docks in Dundee Harbour. I came across it while walking around the docks. The Submarines listed as still on Patrol were stationed at Dundee and lists the Six British, Dutch, Norwegian and Russian submarines were lost.
The memorial above is to a commando unit who were killed during Operation Musketoon
HMS Thames lost after attacking the Battle Cruiser Gneisenau all 62 personnel we lost, O22 lost while on patrol off Norway, all crew were lost.
Uredd sunk by a German mine all crew were lost, the wreck was found in 1985 and is now a war grave. B-1 sunk in error by the RAF off the coast of Norway while being shipped to Russia all crew lost
HMS Oxley sunk in error by HMS Triton all crew lost, O 13 lost in a German Minefield while on patrol off Norway all crew lost

...a wonderful remembrance.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to think of these lives cut short.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Bill, all those lives lost.. it is so incredibly sad to think about it. Even more sad to think the fighting goes on today and for always probably!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. My grandfather died on one of those submarines. I am hoping to carry out my own remembrance there soon.
