Terence Munson Posted 2 October , 2016 Share Posted 2 October , 2016 Hi Matthew & Chris Just found this in the BT334 series ( will try to improve the quality). Seems the Heronspool survived - and she is not listed on uboat.net. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 3 October , 2016 Share Posted 3 October , 2016 Terry we checked this one out. There was no attack on the ship & this appears to be a non combat incident. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temptage Posted 2 October , 2017 Share Posted 2 October , 2017 Headstone finally erected today. Congrats to all involved. Just a pity the CWGC or Council havent seen fit to have a dedication service for him after all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
