The Royal Indian Navy and the battle of the Atlantic

The Royal Indian Navy and the battle of the Atlantic

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

It is a mantra - or more accurately a myth - of English history that in 1940 "We stood alone". This is manifestly untrue as Norwegian, Polish, Dutch, Free French and even Belgian escorts served in the Battle of the Atlantic. But what has gone almost totally
unremarked is the service of the sloops of the Royal Indian Navy in the Battle, an involvement which resulted in three of them winning the Atlantic Battle Honour.
