.....................to all those who replied to my earlier post about HMS Sheffield. My uncle also died in WW2, on HMS Glorious as the result of an outrageous blunder by the Admiralty, who, to this day are totally embarrassed by the whole episode. So much so that parts of the Board of Enquiry are still subject to a 100 year secrecy order. My uncle was 18 and there were even younger sailors than him on board who lost their lives. Sorry. It annoys me.

Good on you Clarion, but war is about killing. After WW2 many German and Japanese war criminals were executed, because the Allies won. Does anybody doubt that it would have been any different if the Nazis had "won" ?

Yes it's all very sad and makes you think.

Hi 10 Though it pains me I have to agree with Whiffey. The incident to which you refer is a serious and sensitive subject and perhaps posting it on CB is not the best place to put it. To be honest I'm not sure where you would get a serious respons from all posters though I am sure a number on this site can empathise with you.
