HMS Courageous

Although HMS Courageous had no part in Malta during WWII I am mentioning her here as I have some pre WWII photos of her in the Mediterranean.
These photographs have probably not been 'aired' in public before.
HMS Courageous was the first British warship to be sunk in WWII whilst serving with the home fleet on anti submarine operations off the coast of Ireland.
