This
page is not meant to be a comprehensive history of HMS Belmont, but a
record of sailors of the ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY who served in her, photos they
took and stories they may have shared with their families.
The
H.M.S. Belmont, commanded by LCdr Geoffrey Harding, R.N., was serving in the
3rd Escort Group when she was torpedoed south of Newfoundland by U82 on
January 31, 1942. There were no survivors - 138 officers and men, including
5 from the RCN, perished.
In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice
