historydavid Posted 29 June , 2007 Share Posted 29 June , 2007 The Duke of Clarence seems to have had a "good" war, only losing one man, caused by drowning. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenbecker Posted 30 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 30 June , 2007 Mates, Thankyou for the details, I was thinking the HMS Duke of Clarence may have been a shore unit, nice to see it wasn't. Cheers S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
