 | H M Submarine Tetrarch During early November 1941 Tetrarch is thought to have struck a mine off Sicily. All hands were lost. One of them is mentioned on a war memorial. Petty Officer James Nelson McBride P/JX 137696 The cwgc website reports the date of loss as 2/11/1941 and that that PO McBride had been mentioned in despatches. Can anyone help with more info regarding either the submarine or with details of how I can investigate further the 'mentioned in despatches'. Many thanks. |

 | I may have information! Hello! I hope your still looking for information as by the looks of things you posted this question in January. James Nelson McBride was my husbands great Uncle and I have been looking into the circumstances of the HMS Tetrarch...If you would like to speak about this any more let me know as I am curious as to your connection with James McBride?  |
