Pictures of the Limbang Raid

We are extremely grateful to both Dave (Syd) Morris and Laurie Johnson for letting us publish these never seen before pictures of the Limbang operation. Laurie Johnson, an ex GI, was an AB on H.M.S. Chawton 61-63.  Dave Morris was the Radio Operator (tactical) onH.M.S. Dartington 62-64 and although they overlapped they didn't know each other as H.M.S. Dartington never worked with Chawton during the confrontation.  Dave and Laurie have only relatively recently discovered their connection in both serving in the 6th Minesweeping Squadron.
