HMS GALATEA is not mentioned?

From Jim Banks 12/5/2010

I was pleased to see Jan Berry's comment about the Galatea. I was disappointed to see no mention of my favourite ship. I was a killick Dusty and served for two and half years in Galatea and I'm amazed she wasn't mentioned in this article as, at the time, we were all certain that we had spent more time "up the ice" than anyone else. Iremember a trawler skipper who praise our captain, Captain Guetterbok, by saying: "If the Navy had more like him we'd still have a bloody Empire." Iremember it well with great pride and affection.
