2025

We had the privilege of providing the music for a service to commemorate the 85th year of the sinking of HMS Foylebank. The service took place at the Royal Navy Cemetery on Portland, and wreaths were laid at Jack Mantle's grave.

85 years ago (4 July 1940), 26 Stuka dive bombers attacked Portland Harbour, sinking the Royal Navy anti-aircraft ship HMS Foylebank, losing 176 of a crew of 298 with many more wounded. One of the ship's company, Jack Foreman Mantle, was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions in defending the ship whilst fatally wounded. It is the only occasion that the Victoria Cross has been awarded for action in British territorial waters.
