Description
Members of the 6th Division Signals stand on the deck of the Destroyer HMS Wryneck covering their ears as one of the four 4 inch mark XVI AA guns on the ship is fired. 620 men were evacuated from Greece to Crete by HMS Wryneck which replaced the Pennland which was sunk on the very night before it was due to pick up the men.
