Ships Monthly - July 2024

Stephen Wynn has written a well-researched book on the possible fate of the vessel in a mined graveyard amongst other submarines, and their entombed crews, which suffered the same fate.

The book lists New Zealand, Australian British troops drowned on the Nino Bixio, also those buried at Phaleron War Cemetery.

The names and rank crew lost on the HM Submarine Turbulent are also given including those a mentioned in despatches.

A page turner.

The Armourer

An excellent book and easy to read, a recommended book on a largely forgotten story of WW2.

The History Fella

"The author has produced a very interesting and thought provoking, book on the relatively short career of HMS Turbulent.......This book fulfils one certainty that the crew of HMS Turbulent and those who were her victims have not been forgotten."

Roger Coleman, The Wessex Branch of the Western Front Association

This book covers the short life of the submarine Turbulent from building to her loss. It is a story containing controversy surrounding the sinking of an Italian merchant ship, the Nino Bixio that was carrying Allied prisoners of war.

There are excellent photographs that have been located of the Turbulent and her crew which gives the book a more human touch.
