I have recently come across some pages of a log covering the period 23-24 July 1941, which reports the actions of the 11th Battalion Lancs Fusiliers on board H.M.S. Edinburgh. I understand that the Battalion was on its way to Malta. In a seperate document there is mention of some trouble and somone on board being 'locked up'. Do you have any idea what that was about? Also would it be possible to obtain a photo (hard copy) of H.M.S Edinburgh?
Regards Joe Bamford.

During WW2 when the HMS Edinburgh was in the Middle dock in South Shields my father invited one of the Engine Room Artificers to our home. We stayed friends until he was lost at sea when the ship was torpedoed. I have tried various searches to find his details but without success. I am sure that his name was Bill Phelan from Manchester, I am not sure if my spelling is correct but he was one of the few who lost their lives when the torpedo his the engine room. I would be pleased to fine anyone who knew him. Tom Caskey

My Dad, James Finlay Ramsay, who was an ASDICS operator and who was one of the survivors when HMS Edinburgh was sunk, very sadly died in the Royal Victoria Hospital, in Edinburgh, on Valentines' Day, 14th February 2008, aged 89. His funeral is on Thursday, 21st February at Seafield Crematorium in Edinburgh, at 11am.

From his loving daughters Liz and Eileen and all his many Grandchildren and even more Great Grandchildren. Thank you.
