18-5-1943. Recipient was serving aboard HMS Glenroy en route from
Alexandria to Tobruk on
23-11-1941 when she was attacked by enemy torpedo
aircraft. Hit by two torpedoes and slowly sinking her
salvage
pumps ejected water she was towed towards the shore
and beached near Mersa Matruh. Temporary repairs were
carried out and on 27-11-1941 HMS Glenroy was towed
out to sea again, and on 29-11-1941 arrived and anchored
off
Alexandria in spite of being attacked twice again by torpedo bombers
and having steering difficulties because of
rudder damage. The draft of the ship was too
great for entering Alexandria Harbour and this was not possible
before 4-12-1941, after pumping water from various
departments and removing ammunition and stores. It was
towed in by tugs and touched bottom twice in
entrance to the Great Pass.
It was decided to repair
the ship as far as possible in Alexandria and then send her back to the
U.K. for full
refitting. This, among other things, entailed
fitting a steel patch 40 feet by 28 feet to the ship’s side, underwater
with the ship still afloat by divers - the first
occasion that this had been done, and dismantling and reconditioning,
on board, the large main diesel engines that had
been submerged for four months - an unprecedented task.
H.M.S. Glenroy was
ready for passage to the U.K., on starboard engine, exactly one year
after being torpedoed,
and set sail on 22-11-1942 accompanied by HMS
Janus. The voyage was uneventful except for some minor
breakdowns, and a major one for Glenroy when a
piston fractured in No. 2 cylinder and the piston when broke up
the cylinder head. Glenroy was taken in tow by
Janus but within 12 hours, good work by the engine room staff had
dismantled No. 6 cylinder and the ship was able to
proceed on remaining 5 cylinders, and she arrived at Barry Roads
on 30-1-1943.
Included with the medals
are copies of the full admiralty reports covering the above incidents,
and a copy of a
letter to the Admiralty from Lord Louis Mountbatten
in which he says “I consider the work performed by the chip’s
company of Glenroy in repairing the ship after her
severe damage and subsequently steaming her to England under
very arduous and difficult conditions was a most
praiseworthy exhibition of self-help, skill and perseverance, and
reflects great credit on the Captain and ship’s
company. I should like therefore fully to support any
recommendations
for awards which may be submitted” etc.
