Our Norway event was a complete success. A party of 16 from all parts of the UK, Australia and Canada made the trip to Harstad in Northern Norway. It was a memorable and unforgettable experience for all who attended. In addition to the wreath laying ceremony on June 8th, on June 9th a memorial service was held at Trondenes Church which was followed by the unveiling of the Association plaque nearby, in what can only be described as a truly wonderful location.
Finally, our party made a symbolic visit to the Commonwealth War Graves plot in Harstad, where we laid a wreath at the grave of Jack Pilkington, Telegraphist, HMS Glorious.
