Beak, one page, 4to, Head Quarters, Malta, 21st April 1942, to the Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion of The Cheshire Regiment. The typed document relates to the unloading of the S.S.

Penelope and placing on board ammunition at a critical time' and commenting 'By stepping into the breach and taking over from the Civilian Stevedores the unloading of the “Pampas” and working continuously day and night throughout heavy raids on the Harbour, when the “Pampas” was a target, they performed highly meritorious service of which I am proud and for which I know the other services in MALTA have nothing but praise.

Whilst there she was attacked daily by German planes who created so many shrapnel holes that she was nicknamed HMS Pepperpot (and, after the shrapnel holes had been plugged with long pieces of wood, HMS Porcupine). She sailed for Gibraltar on 8th April and was repeatedly attacked from the air, arriving at her destination two days later having suffered further damage. HMS Penelope was torpedoed and finally sunk by a German U-boat near Naples on 18th February 1944 with a heavy loss of life.
