World War Two / Re: Query ~ HMS Victory WW2
« on: Monday 01 November 21 20:01 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for sharing your story and photos.

I have already updated gallivanting.ca

I believe that your photo "WWII War Ship.jpg" is a picture of the sinking of the "La Coruņa". The scuttling of the "La Coruņa" occurred on March 13, 1940. All 68 German crew members were rescued by the crew of the AMC HMS Maloja. For more visit; https://gallivanting.ca/stories-my-father-told/

Thanks again,
Wayne

My father did his basic training at HMS Victory between January 4, 1940 and February 13, 1940, at which time he was assigned to the Armored Merchant Cruiser HMS Maloja. In you picture, Hayward Young (my father) is the one in the center with the big smile on his face (3rd from left in second row). Interestingly, I have the same picture. I would very much like to see your other pictures. For more, visit; https://gallivanting.ca/stories-my-father-told/
