carni 10,094 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 The Air. The Land. The Sea. We lost so many. Our thanks go to the men who lost their lives and the ones that thankfully survived. We all thank them for the lives we have today. Thank you for the Link Michael and the poem for those lost at sea. Today we remember them all. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,535 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think Jon Pertwee was one of the very few survivors of the Hood Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I didn't think so Rog, so Googled it, and JP is not listed amongst the three survivors. However, there has always been some confusion as to exactly how many did actually survive. Definitely a horrendous day in British naval history. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
