World War Two / Re: Pembroke - Ship sunk ww2 by German U boats?
« on: Wednesday 29 August 12 14:50 BST (UK) »
My father was Tommy Gospell and was stationed at HMS Pembroke between 1939 and 45. He was on HMS Pelican torpedoed, and lost at sea. MOD sent a telegram to my Grandmother with the bad news, to be followed by another telegram the next day from my father to say he had been picked up by a fishing boat, and was due home on leave!! Has anyone got any further info on HMS Pelican?
