I have just been to Malta where I met the family of Anthony Ronayne. Anthony although now passed away, his lovely family made me very welcome and provided me with his written account on that fateful day on 10th April 1940. Any information (see above at the top of this page which has been recently placed kindly by Peter Mitchell) may be of interest. It could be I can send you information. Walter was a member of the Narvik Association, in fact I have photo of him with my father and the wonderful lady who helped the survivors Petra Kristiansen.

Your remarkable efforts deserve a successful outcome. Obviously if anything comes by way of my own research I will pass it on quickly.

I have been successful in obtaining many different photographs of the occasion over the past few months, but not the correct one clearly showing Austin McNamara in the photograph. Austin had been presumed dead in the sinking of the HMS Hardy at Narvik in Norway on 10 April 1940. The local paper boy in Bolton raced around with a copy of the newspaper saying 'he was alive'. I am trying to get a copy of the right photo for his sister's 70th birthday in April 2004. Apparently the same photograph appeared on a television documentary at the time as well. I am also trying to get any information pertaining to him or the HMS Hardy or HMS Gould for her. I have hundreds of pages of emails, photos etc if someone would like to have copies of information I have gleaned over the years about HMS HARDY in my search for the photo for my mother in law.
