I'm pretty sure my father was at Dday on the destroyer HMS Whitshed (which was, I believe, part of the 16th destroyer flotilla). How can I find out what this ship actually did at D-day?
I wanted to bump this as I've seen a few listings over the years. Anyone know of a source for a the HMS Whitshed at D-Day?
Thanks, chaps, for your attention. I've woven together a pretty comprehensive answer now. I can share it with anybody who is particularly interested.
