Greek tug Zooduchus Pigi

[dylan1966]

My Dad served on a Greek tug after being on HMS Khartoum and HMS Ladybird in the Med when they sunk.
Name was Zooduchus Pigi...that also sunk 17 4 41
Does anybody know the circumstances this would have happened? The posting to a Greek tug for 5 months?
I suppose as Allies we worked together with the Greek navy.
I'm trying to find a photo of the tug but proving very difficult.

Ladybird was only sunk on 12 May 41.

Try forum.marinearchiv.de for pictures. They can be very helpful.

Here's a short article I wrote about the insect class with some helpful links:

Slightly off-topic — but might be of interest regarding the Insect class (and other river gunboats) — are two good books dealing with the Royal Navy's river boats in China:
Martin H. Bridge
"The Royal Navy and the Sino-Japanese Incident, 1937–1941"
Ian Allen, London, 1973
ISBN 0 7110 0402 1

I am not registered on that site. Sign into the site and then paste ' http://www.forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/in ... 7399;image ' into the address bar.

Urmel, if that doesn't work, can you save the image to your computer and then post here on AHF?

Pista! Jeff
