Looking for info for Sapper James Dickson He was part of the 163 Rly. Works Coy. Killed when a ship exploded in Bari, Italy in 1945 when a ship blew up in the Harbour. Looking for some background to the ship, what the company were doing in the harbour etc.
The ship that blew up in 1945. SS Charles Henderson - Wikipedia PS I edited the thread title as the date said 1941.
At first I thought your query was about the bombing of Bari Harbour on 2 December 1943. There are a couple of threads on the forum about this. Still a good story though. The Bombing of Bari Harbour 2 December 1943 - a white-wash? On this day during WW2 Lesley
