  • A HUGH thank you to all crew on HMS Cumberland - wherever you may all be now for delivering my husband safe and sound back into UK hands. What he failed to do was ask for a few souveniers for my Sea Cadet children to take back to their unit in Lincoln!! Keep sailing, we owe you so much.... thank you is not enough. You will all be in our thoughts, especially on Trafalgar Day.
