ww2 Malta run

[stephen street]

Hi to the guys with long memories.
malta. 11/2/42
sub lt Roy Walmsley and 18 ratings lost their lives in a bombing raid of grand harbour while serving on H.M.S.cleopatra. I believe that the said Roy Walmsley was my fathers cousin. His ship was part of the convoy protection on what i believe was called the" malta run". Any information that still is in the grey cells of any person from that time or others with some knowledge would be gratefully received.
thanks for your time,steve.
