11/11/1942 HMS/M Unbeaten
We Will Remember Them
Seventy one years ago HMS/M Unbeaten was transiting the Bay of Biscay en route to a rendezvous with another British submarine in the area of Bishop's Rock lighthouse. Unbeaten had just successfully completed a secret mission to land an SOE agent in Spain. She never made the rendezvous.
Early in the morning of Armistice Day 1942 Unbeaten and her entire crew inexplicably disappeared, with no know location to this day. As a tribute, and so the crew of HMS/M Unbeaten were not forgotten, I researched and documented their story.
'Being Silent They Speak' means a lot to me. The original book concept was only going to be about the life of a member of my family who was lost on Unbeaten. However, when researching and writing the book it was clear there was more to the story and that I was writing something special. The book soon snow balled into becoming the definitive history of Unbeaten and her crew and eventually reached No1 on AmazonUK in their WW2 genre.
A year after 'Being Silent They Speak' was published the book continues to chart around the AmazonUK Top 100 bestselling books in the World War Two genre. Many positive reviews have been posted about the book and several media outlets have also reviewed it.
Below is a very recent review, of which I am very proud of, written by the fantastic people at 'Family Tree Magazine'.
