SALAMIS.. My
name is George Myers and I was a member of the Liaison crew on the Greek
destroyer Salamis in 1944. I am trying to find out any information
on this ship and if there is a memorial to the sailors who were lost
whilst serving on the same ship. Would you have any information
about a possible memorial? If so what town or city in Greece would
it be in as I want to visit to pay my respects. Contact
here
