  1. Two of my late fathers brothers were in the British merchant navy and sailed up to Archangel in Russia on more then on occasion, braving the arctic storms in winter and the German submarines and aircraft in summer. Ironically their eldest brother, who spent the entire war in the army, looks like the only one of the three who was on a ship which was sunk by a torpedo. He was on a troopship heading through the Mediterranean when it was hit. He was rescued and later went on to join the Commandos.
