Service for HMS Charybdis and Limbourne

Four-hundred and sixty-nine men died when two Royal Navy Cruisers, HMS Charybdis and HMS Limbourne were hit by German torpedoes in October 1943. Twenty-one bodies later washed ashore in Guernsey and were buried with full military honours and services in Guernsey have been held every year since 1947. 

Wreaths will be laid by members of the various island organisations on the graves of those who are buried here and the outdoor service is open to all.
