Re: HMS Hecla
I am a British journalist based in Valencia, Spain. In mid-March a colleague andI will be visiting Commonwealth war Grave sites in Andalucia, Southern Spain to do research for a series of articles.
We will be visiting Ceuta (a Spanish enclave on the African continent), where some crew of HMS Hecla are buried.
The only info we have is from CWGC files:
