HMS Varnoc was a British Vclass destroyer with a complement of 70 officers and men. In June 1940 HMS Varnoc participated in the evacuation of British Troops from Norway and St Nazaire, France. Convoy patrols in the Atlantic followed, culminating in an action on 15th Match 1941 which will be long remembered in Naval history. On that day, HMS Varnoc sank two German submarines U99 and U100 which were commanded by two of the Kriegsmarines top U-boat Captains, Joachin Schepke and Otto Kretschmer. Details of these two actions are as described by Lt. Cmdr Walter Edney from 'Recollections of WWII'- 'After a little more than a mile, the silhouette of a U boat could be seen on the surface, so without hesitation our Captain gave the order to Stand by to Ram. This we did in no uncertain manner, at full speed, hitting the U-boat amidships and toppling her over. It bought Varnoc to a sudden standstill, embedded in the U-boat which was only cleared by putting both engines full astern. The U-boat rose high in the air and sank, the Captain still on the bridge wearing his white cap but badly injured, went down with her. It subsequently transpired that the U-boat we had sunk was U100, Captained by a Lieut Capt Schwepke, a U-boat ace who had sunk many thousands of tons of British shipping. After a short while, a U-boat surfaced just astern of us, so close that it was necessary to move out of the way fairly quickly for fear of being torpedoed or fired upon. It was not to be. In fact both Walker and Varnoc opened a cross fire at the U-boat. It was clear that she was badly damaged and the crew would have to surrender. The U-boat flashed a message to Walker to the effect that she was sinking. The bow of the boat subsequently rose in the air and she slithered down to her grave. This was U-boat U99, captained by Lt Cmdr Kretschmen, the unchallenged ace of the German U-boat fleet after Prien, who had been sunk with his U-boat a few days before by HMS Wolverine.HMS Varnoc was commanded by Lt Cmdr JGW Deneys, who was subsequently awarded The Distinguished Service Order for these actions'.*Biography - On 3/11/1942 Lt Grace was appointed to HMS Quail. He took part in the Salerno landings during September 1943. On 15th November, HMS Quail, whilst on patrol in the Adriatic, struck a mine and was beached the following day. 1944 found Lt Grace serving on HMS Diomede, a boys training ship at Devonport. He was back to sea in Jan 1945 serving on a battle class destroyer, HMS Camperdown. Promoted to LT Cmdr in 1948 he saw service on HMS Gambia between 1952 and 1954.
