Dec 23rd, 2011 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any and all information pertaining tothe Antelope, from and including her visit to Teesport in 75 before she was commissioned through to the board of enquiery report. Crew lists, medals and commendations, any way of contacting those who served onboard and any anicdotal stories from them. In otherwords anything at all, because wecan onlyfindayawningblack hole where this information shoud be......... Beyond that, I would loveto know why my husband's service history is also missing? He served on the Antelope and many other ships before and during 82 but has no reccogition by Britain of his service. ThanksGod, in my country.... he is called “hero” byhis peers (even though he doesnt want to hear about that word... why is it that he is still suffering and careing for his own country. The same country that he served to with pride and honour but yet they made him return his insignia,medals,uniform and documents????? why?? please,tell me why ???
Dec 23rd, 2011 - 04:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because he had a different opinion about the war and tasks he was asked to do ( done anyway just for his contry) he decided to leave the service which cost all savings and it seems, he previous five years of his life.
is this the way that Britains Senior Service treats their patriots????? well..... from what I know and found out afterresearch is that the “argies” do not treat their patriots like that...
Thanks for your interest andI hope you can help. xxx
Who is your husband and I will do what I can..
