onwards if anyone has photo's or information on this ship and its crew I
would be very interested to hear from you. Please contact Garry Ross at garry@fastrade.co.uk HMS
VERDUN Can anyone help? I am
looking for information on HMS Verdun/ HMS Wolfhound which my father
served on. If any of the ex-crew from these ships knew my father or have
photos of the ship I would love to hear from them. Contact G Gibson at ggibson@easyco.freeserve.co.uk
