HMS MONTROSE BRONZE NAME PLATE, red painted, 66cm x 22cm Backgound: On 27 July the destroyers Montrose (Cdr C R L Parry) and Wren (Lt-Cdr I W G Harker) of the Harwich-based 16th Flotilla were escorting the Halcyon and six M/S trawlers forty miles east of their base in Mine Barrier Gap E. At 1700 they were dive bombed by fifteen planes. Montrose survived innumerable near misses. One bomb missed by as little as a foot and disabled the ship, though it caused no casualties or structural damage. Another was destroyed right overhead by a flak shell. The concussion of such near misses had remarkable effects - one prone officer was thrown back into a standing position. In all, three strikes were made at Montrose, during which she blazed away with all guns and claimed to have shot down two of her attackers. When the smoke had cleared, nothing was to be seen of the Wren. Her precise fate was only pieced together later by survivors in Shotley hospital. Apparently she had been bombed at the same time as the first attack on the Montrose. At least twenty bombs had fallen near the ship and two holed her below the waterline. Her bulkheads had collapsed and she had gone down stern first within two minutes except for the stern, which remained exposed until the tide covered it. Thirty seven of the crew died, among them Harker, whose grave may still be seen at Shotley Churchyard. The trawlers shot the tail off one raider and rescued Wren's survivors. See illustration
