Yesterday, we attended the Remembrance ceremony in

Yesterday, we attended the Remembrance ceremony in Cowes to remember the ORP Blyskawica's defence of Cowes and East Cowes on the night of 4/5th May 1942 when 70 civilians tragically lost their lives. We also remember the ORP Grom which was lost off Norway on 4th May 1940 with a loss of 56 of her crew.
