    Interesting article. It seems as though the senior officer had a chip on his shoulder about Tunstall and that's why we didn't hear of him and why he received no recognition.

    I actually hope now (I realise it's too late) that someone somewhere has the decency to award him posthumous medals for his family.

    Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
