A better time....

My dad joined at the ripe age of 15 and 3 quarters in 1938 and was a button boy the same year but never said anything about the sad ending of one boy. Shocked.

Sometimes I just can’t believe what we humans are capable of.

Mighty pom poms. HMS Alynbank PQ18, Malta Strike Force K HMS Penelope Da iawn Dad!

Lol fuck this video i just bought earphones this morning and i made a whole scenario in my head how im going to go back to the store to get my money back

She was found 1956 but was raised 1961

My Father was there. Told me the French fought pretty hard but “we knocked the hell out them” and they pushed in.

Torch was, for propaganda purposes, a landing by U.S. forces, supported by British warships and aircraft, under the belief that this would be more palatable to French public opinion, than an Anglo-American invasion. For the same reason, Churchill suggested that British soldiers might wear U.S. Army uniforms, and No.6 Commando did so.[26] (Fleet Air Arm aircraft did carry US "star" roundels during the operation,[27] and two British destroyers flew the Stars and Stripes.[26]) In reality, the Eastern Task Force-aimed at Algiers-was commanded by Lieutenant-General Kenneth Anderson and consisted of a brigade from the British 78th and the U.S. 34th Infantry Divisions, along with two British commando units (No. 1 and No. 6 Commandos), together with the RAF Regiment providing 5 squadrons of infantry and 5 Light anti-aircraft flights, totalling 20,000 troops. During the landing phase, ground forces were to be commanded by U.S. Major General Charles W. Ryder, Commanding General (CG) of the 34th Division and naval forces were commanded by Royal Navy Vice-Admiral Sir Harold Burrough

oh come on this was not useful...

That commentator needs to get his facts correct, Torch was not 'The invasion of North Africa . And the only Australian Troops in Britain were in a forestry group, 1940 - 43.

Thank you for your service 💔💔💔 what an amazing story.

I’m deeply suspicious, as an American, of dialogue that tries to divide us. Our differences might be more pronounced, but we have far more in common than our enemies want us to know.

Brilliant !!! Thanks a million. I've always wanted to explore this part of the coast in my small boat and delve into it's history.

I have just uploaded a video trailer to UA-cam for a book I wrote about the Arctic Convoys some years ago. A second book is in the research/writing process. I've given the correct credit for the use of the brilliant soundtrack as the background music.

Dont 1:01 care

this is the best ship 😃🙏👌

146 1/4 foot high, I believe

I love that there is footage of this brave cat. Simon survived Hongkong harbour, the Yangtze incident and severe injuries, and also the long journey to Britain. He.died in quarantine. Quite a sad story.

The HMS Ganges mast has now been completely renovated and replaced - great to see the return of such an iconic landmark and hats off to Wavensmere for prioritising its restoration. It is a fitting monument to the 160,000 Boys who trained at HMS Ganges and served in the Royal Navy. There is a museum at Shotley Gate dedicated the history of the establishment - details can be found online.

This is fascinating!! It’s been beautifully preserved!

Had ancestors on this ship, rip.

Went to the Vasa museum a few years back. Well worth the visit. Amazing ship.

I recommend reading 👌 "Simon Ships Out" by Jacky Donovan. It is simply delightful!

I don't know what year but I know my Grandad stood on the top.

The French couldn't make up their mind what side they were on. Without a doubt they were the biggest pus sies of the entire war.

The Fourth Of May is my Birthday.

My Uncle was on the HMS London that went along with the HMS Consort to help out but they were not required but its such an amazing sight to see this Beautiful lady and crew return home ..safe at last..God Bless all who sailed on her..RESPECT .

Cool

What is the music? I love it.

Those where the days 😂

🤩👍👍👍

I think a couple of these where scrapped at doigs in grimsby.

.

I have two DNA matches so far. RIP.

Worked on many P & O class submarines in Devonport Dockyard as a Shipwright back in the 60s, 70s great times.

Very exciting, my DNA matches someone that was on this ship. Pretty fascinating. Rest in Peace to my family, whoever you were.

Can we go back to the 1920’s

Great video I'd love to capture those with the drone where is the exact location?

There is no such thing as an "electric engine". Electric motors yes. Such careless mistakes are a sad indication of the deterioration language skills today.

Does anyone know the names of the crew? They need to be be remembered. 🙏🇿🇦

This was an amazing description of the times and effort along with some failings that I never really knew about. I have lived in Plymouth all my life and enjoyed this documentary very much, so thank you. I also completed my apprenticeship in Devonport Naval base and spent the larger part of my life at sea as an engineer in the Merchant Navy, often visiting Plymouth to supply oil to Turnchapel via underground pipes from Coxside, for the S.W. Gas SNG production plants at Oreston. My enjoyment every time I sailed into Plymouth was overwhelming and in those days, the Chief Engineer would give you the port off (two to three days) whilst discharging was underway so as one could go ashore and spend time with their family. I doubt that happens these days. Thank you once again for this wonderful understanding about a structure that Plymothians basically take for granted.

Image 300 year old body so well geap it still have all uniforms and brain left

RIP my three distant relatives based on DNA evidence.

My father and two of my younger brothers were at Ganges. I joined the Army!!!!😝

Seen Eric son Was to blame when nearing the west ern approaches the use of deep-sea lead is recommended.on the 40 fathom mark stear due east.he did not do that .

The fact that they actually found one of the crews bodies too… especially after that long; that doesn’t happen often. Usually the ocean claims everything even the bones…

This video is great. Anglo pride worldwide.
