204895 Cook William Herbert Wallis Royal Navy HMS Hunter from:Forest Gate, London My uncle William Herbert Wallis was a cook on board HMS Hunter when it was torpedoed in Narvik in 1940. Unfortunately, I was never able to get too much of the story from him because of the traumatic memories involved. My uncle died two years ago aged 90. I have since found out some important information from the Historical Branch of the MOD and this web-site. I knew he was marched in to Sweden and then returned home close to Christmas 1942. When I was younger he showed me a Norwegian flag that he obtained while in Norway and an "icelandic" jumper made in Norway and used by local fishermen. Ironically, I now live in Norway, and plan to make the journey up to Narvik and to Gunnarn in Sweden. If anybody else has photos of the internees in Sweden, then I would love to hear from you.
