I was on what was then known as Huff and Duff, later called Asdic sweeping for loose mines.I just remember a loud bang, the sailor behind me took the initial blast which saved me. I ended up in Truro Hospital and was told only seven of us survived. this was in July 1945.
Any one who can help or add to this I would be grateful.
John Edwards.
