    Looking for an incident on this date that killed 10 members of the Bn who are listed on the Brookwood Memorial as having no known grave.

    Any info gratefully received.

    This Btn was on passage to Malta pre Aug 1941-it is a possibility that their ship was bombed en route; and the 10 dead men were consigned to the sea-but that is pure speculation-perhaps some more erudite member of the Forum can solve your mystery.

    Thanks for that little snippet as that gives me somewhere else to look

    Bingo; looks like they were on board HMS Manchester when she was sunk
