<\/a>HMS Blean L47 Hunt Class Destroyer<\/p><\/div>\nHMS Blean was the shortest lived of the Hunt class Destroyers, commissioned in August 1942.<\/p>\n
After working up at Scapa Flow followed by some repairs on the Thames she escorted a convoy to Gibraltar, arriving on 2 November 1942. She then joined the 58th Destroyer Division escorting Operation Torch convoys. While escorting the British convoy MKF-4 off the Algerian coast, Blean was torpedoed by U-443 on 11 December 1942 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Oran. The U-boat aimed one torpedo against her and then one against the convoy, but both hit Blean and she sank within four minutes with the loss of 89 men, although half the crew survived. U-443 was itself depth charged and sunk in the Mediterranean on 23 February 1943 with the loss of all hands.<\/p>\n
A memorial to her was unveiled in the church of St. Cosmus and St. Damian in the village of Blean on 10 December 2006. <\/span>\n The University of Glasgow notes:<\/p>\n Hamish Barrowman was born in Hartley, South Rhodesia, modern day Chegutu in Zimbabwe, son of James Barrowman, an Advertising Agent. He came to the University in 1934 to study Medicine, graduating MB ChB in 1939 and DPH in 1940. <\/span><\/blockquote>\n He is also remembered on the memorials at the Scout Hall, Arthurlie Drive, and Orchardhill Parish Church, in Giffnock.<\/p>\n Major The burials in the cemetery are almost all from the months of January and February 1945. The men buried here belong mostly to the Scottish regiments of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, engaged in the battle in this vicinity from 18th to 24th January 1945, which had as its object the clearing of a salient west of the River Roer which was still held by the Germans. There are now over 230 1939-1945 War casualties commemorated in this site. <\/span>\n Warren was probably killed during Operation Blackcock, to clear the Roer triangle of German forces <\/span>. He is remembered on the Glasgow Academy WW2 memorial.<\/p>\n Warrant Officer While this Sidney Cohen has a fascinating history, he was an East London orphan with no obvious link to Glasgow, and is presumably not our man. However I can find no record of another, and it’s a great story.<\/p>\n He famously landed his struggling Swordfish biplane on the Island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean Sea. The Italian contingent promptly came over and offered their surrender, which he took and flew back to base, though not before being shot up by Allied fighters as he prepared to take off. He became known as the King of Lampedusa, and even had a play written in his honour.<\/p>\n He went missing on 27 August 1946 on a ferry flight from the Middle East, believed crashed into The South-Western Approaches of the English Channel, off the coast of Cornwall. Aircraft was on charge of 160 MU, RAF Aquir, Palestine, en route to RAF St. Eval, Cornwall. <\/span>\n Poster for the King of Lampedusa, Grand Palais Yiddish Theatre, East London, 1943<\/p><\/div>\n Squadron Leader He joined 112 Squadron on 17th May 1943, from 450 Squadron. On 13th July Squadron Leader Norton was hit by flak and killed when dive bombing enemy motor transport near Lentini in his Curtiss P40M Kittyhawk III GA-J, three days into the invasion of Sicily. Flt Sgt Fred Renshaw Vance was also killed on the same raid, the only squadron losses during the invasion. <\/span>\n 112 Squadron Kittyhawk in Tunisia May 1943 – 112 were the first to paint shark mouths on their aircraft (Imperial War Museum).<\/p><\/div>\n Sergeant (Flight Mechanic) Halifax L9572 was one of five No. 35 Squadron aircraft detailed to attack the Marshalling Yards at Dusseldorf on the night of 24th\/25th August 1941. The aircraft failed to return and the seven crew members were declared missing, presumed dead. After the war they were re-interred at the Chievres Communal Cemetery in Belgium. The Nachtjagd Combat Archive suggests it was brought down by the German nightfighter pilot Oblt. Heinrich Griese. <\/span>\n The 35 squadron website also gives accounts of a previous crash when the same crew barely made it back from Berlin on the night of 12th\/13th August. <\/span>\n Sergeant Collins appears twice in Glasgow Roll of Honour, presumably in error.<\/p>\n leston Churchill observes 35 Sq Halifax L9506 in June 1941. (Imperial War Museum)<\/p><\/div>\n Telegraphist HMS Anderson was not a ship, but a Y (wireless interception) station, mostly staffed by ex Naval wireless telegraphists. It was established in Colombo in August 1943. The Far East Combined Bureau relocated back to Colombo about the same time and resumed its operations intercepting and decoding enemy communications, and the whole Bureau soon became known by the station name, HMS Anderson. The Bureau continued to operate from Ceylon for the remainder of the war. Frederick died of an unspecified illness. <\/span>\n HMS Anderson<\/p><\/div>\n James Robertson in uniform, August 1940. Signed for his sister and brother-in law. Source: Family, via Jonathan Ives<\/p><\/div>\n (Recorded as James Cotland Robertson by the CWGC) James died with his 5 crewmates when his Wellington 1C bomber R1408 OJ-J crashed in a field near Plouzane. He was on a raid on the night of 1\/2 July with other aircraft from 149 Squadron to attack the battleships Scharnhorst, Prinz Eugen and Gneisenau in Brest harbour. Only a few weeks earlier Prinz Eugen had assisted Bismarck in sinking HMS Hood. <\/p>\n It is not clear what caused the crash. His was one of two Wellingtons lost in the raid, though not before one of them hit the Prinz Eugen causing significant damage, and keeping it out of action for 6 months.<\/p>\n The crew were buried in the local churchyard. The crash site was explored in 2006, and several bombs and other wreckage recovered.<\/span>\n There is a detailed account of the raid, and the crew, on a French historical site, Association Bretonne Du Souvenir Aerien<\/a>. <\/p>\n Three Wellingtons of 149 Squadron in flight, August 1940, OJ-M, OJ-N and OJ-W.

However he remained a mystery figure until a military historian assisting the Breton Association and a professional genealogist tracked him down in 2023. He was one of four children of Alexander Copland Robertson and Marie Zoe Hunt, and was born in Bengal, India in 1914. The family moved to Glasgow in the 1920s-30s. His father died in 1938, and he was living with his mother at 84 Nithsdale Road (just across the railway bridge from Strathbungo) at the time of his death. His relatives were also traced; they still live locally and provided his photograph.<\/p>\n Guardsman Known as “Tommy”, son of George and Rebecca McMurdo, of Glasgow.

In fact, in the weeks following this disaster, the Germans were unable to mount an attack on any other convoy but continued to suffer severe losses. Although Merchant shipping continued to be sunk up until the last day of the war in Europe, never again were the U-boats to have the same previous successes, which they referred to as the \u201chappy time\u201d and \u201csecond happy time\u201d respectively.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.merchant-navy.net\/forum\/requests-for-help\/36168-ss-north-britain.html<\/p>\n Warrant Officer (Pilot) Son of Robert and Jessie Primrose, of Moray Park, Glasgow.

\nS.S. North Britain was an armoured merchant ship built in South Shields in 1940.
\nAt 02.22 hours on 5 May, 1943, the North Britain (Master John Lamsdale Bright), a straggler from convoy ONS-5 (about five miles behind), was hit by one of three torpedoes fired by U-707 and sank by the bow within two minutes south of Cape Farewell. The master, 27 crew members and seven gunners were lost. Ten crew members and one gunner were picked up by the HMS Northern Spray (FY 129) (Lt F.A.J. Downer) and landed at St.Johns. <\/p>\n
\nCargo ship North Britain, 4,635grt, (North Shipping Co. Ltd) loaded with a part cargo of fire bricks and bagged fire clay at Glasgow bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia for orders joined the 42 ship Convoy ONS-5, which departed the Clyde on the 21st April 1943. On the 28th April the convoy was sighted by U-650 and one Merchant ship was sunk the following day. The message was then relayed to other U-boats and four wolf packs consisting of fifty-seven U-boats began to descend on the convoy. One ship was sunk on the 4th May, but the main attack began the following day. On the 5th May about 400 nautical miles East of Newfoundland having penetrated the convoy escort screen U-boats managed to sink eleven Merchant ships. During the attack on the 5th May, the North Britain had been straggling about five miles behind the main convoy with boiler trouble when intercepted and struck by one of three torpedoes from U-707. The ship immediately began to sink and within a few minutes disappeared in position 55\u2019 08N 42\u2019 43W taking thirty-one men with her. Struggling in heavy seas in one lifeboat and a raft, a further four men died from exposure before the eleven survivors were picked up by the naval trawler HMT Northern Spray and landed at St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland. <\/p>\nWilliam Leonard Primrose<\/h2>\n

\nRAF Hixon, in Staffordshire, was the base of 30 Operational Training Unit, used to train Wellington crews for night bombing raids. The station’s first fatal accident was when Wellington Ic Z1083 crashed on landing after a night bombing exercise on 30\/31 October. The pilot, believing he was going to overshoot the short runway, decided to pull up and go round again. But the Wellington had lost too much airspeed and stalled at 500 feet, crashing at Grange Farm, Amerton, with the loss of all her crew. William was one of two pilots on board, amongst a crew of six. <\/span>\nIan Mackenzie Small<\/h2>\n
