WW2 submarine tragedy remembered. Britain’s most iconic ancient site was the fitting setting for an 80th-anniversary service to a lost WW2 submarine. HMS Stonehenge vanished on only her second patrol sometime in mid-March 1944 in the Bay of Bengal. “All 50 souls aboard were lost – neither their fate, nor their boat have ever been determined. Most likely, the submarine struck a mine or suffered mechanical failure in waters between the Nicobar Islands and Sumatra. HMS Stonehenge was officially listed as lost on March 22 1944 – less than three weeks after an official war photographer had captured crew on camera preparing for their fateful last mission. Eight decades later, national veterans’ charity Alabaré organised a memorial service in conjunction with English Heritage at the prehistoric monument in Wiltshire which gave the ill-starred sub her name.” By Tom Dunlop.
