HMS VENETIA
GUY NORRINGTON..
I am trying to
gather as much information about HMS Venetia for my wife. It was her late
father's first command and named his daughter Venetia. Also I would like
to gather information with reference to her father Guy Norrington, who
passed away when she was only 4 yrs old. Contact me at karl@venetia75.freeserve.co.uk

of the crew of HMS Valentine D.49. HMS Valentine was hit and beached off
