A Brief Military History

By Cathy Wood

Loch Eriboll

 

Two captured German subs- (1) 20 miles off Cape Wrath (2) way past Stornaway; trying to take a shortcut home late at night and gave quite a chase. 

 

Johnnie was on HMS York City at Aultbea.  Subs went to Londonderry after the war and were then scuttled in the Atlantic.  Prisoners were removed at Kyle of Lochalsh and taken to the train.  Swastikas were removed at the mouth of Loch Eriboll and the Union Jack was hoisted, which can be seen in the photo.
