My father was in the navy during WW2 and was sunk in HMS Van Dyke off Norway. His recollection was that the ship was crewed by volunteers and used as a decoy when the RN evacuated Norway. I have not seen any mention of this anywhere, does anyone have any information on the sinking of the Van Dyke and what it was doing there?
Many thanks
Hello. I read this thread with big interest. I work in the museum og Andøy and now I am writing the story of Van Dyke. I do miss some peaces that I would need. I need to know what happened when they came ashore and how they became prisionors. I would be glad for all information and pictures or drawings from the time here if I can use it to share the information here about what happened those days. Thank you.
