chrisharley9 Posted 23 April , 2006 Share Posted 23 April , 2006 Let us remember all of those who lost their lives in the Raid on Zeebrugge this day in 1918. I for one will be saying a prayer for them in church this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 23 April , 2006 Share Posted 23 April , 2006 Remembering those who fought and those who died in the raids on Zeebrugge and Ostend on St George's Day, 23 April 1918. Remembering especially Captain Henry Crosby Halahan (whose stamp is my avatar), killed by machine-gun fire while supervising deployment of the landing brows on the foredeck of Vindictive as she approached the Mole. Buried at sea near the South Goodwins, a league off Dover, on 25 April 1918. Commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw you have some nice new pics of Zeebrugge raid from e-bay. Was going to participate in the auction till I saw your name. They are in good hands !

greatspywar Posted 14 July , 2006 Share Posted 14 July , 2006 If the programme comes through, I'll be attending the walks and maybe even the conference. I've been to the monument two weeks ago on the Zeebrugge beach. A piece of fascinating history! Regards Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
