What do you want to know Irish ? if tell us what you want - maybe somebody can help !

If you just want general information - if you Google - you'll find quite a bit on the subject !

Hello Irish My husband was on HMS Warrior which was out there at the same time as the Narvik.Warrior also has a website atwww.hmswarrior.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Its also worth joining the BNTVA as they sometimes print
letters and photographs sent in by members who were on HMS Narvik.My husband thinks that either the chairman or a member of the committee of the BNTVA was on the Narvik.
Since the 1960s my husband has not enjoyed good health but things have become chronic during the last five years.
New Zealand television have made a documentry about their sailors who were on the some trials.Real eyeopener.
Also thankyou to Graceland who was kind enough to let me know about this discussion Regards Tralee
