Re: Help please
A bit puzzling Vic
I find that the Henry Dundas was actually Bombed on September 30th 1940 although not sunk ?

Re: Help please
Voyage cards make no mention of bombing, Doc.
What's your source for bombing, please?

Re: Help please
Source Link in my last post Vic
I also had a look at that page 3 and on closer looking with Mag Glass could well be the 21/4 and not the 21/ 9 thus the Bombing would make more sense then on the 30th Sept 1940 ?? But all may just be guessing or could this be another Henry Dundas????
Cheers
Repeat Link scroll down to Henry Dundas

Re: Help please
Doc, like you I read 21/4, then changed my mind as the written notation is in the September grouping.
Maybe was in April and they forgot to write up. Lol.
