Portsmouth News correspondence

On 29th November, a letter appeared in the Portsmouth News headlined "The Men of Dunedin were Abandoned" from Mr John Boxall (far left, below), followed by a response from Mr Allan Chamberlain. Unfortunately, Mr Boxall's letter was inaccurate and gave an incorrect account of Admiralty actions in the immediate aftermath of the sinking. The men of HMS Dunedin were not "abandoned" by the Admiralty and the third letter, far right, by Stuart Gill, sets the record straight. Click on the thumbnails for bigger images.
