IIRC, the HMS Campbelltown was one of the 50 4-stackers the US provided to Britain before we entered the war. Was it named after your town? I assumed it was, because according to the Wiki the ship's bell was rescued during the raid and eventually given to the town, then loaned back to the RN for use on the new HMS Campbelltown that was launched 40+ years later. |

Jeremy Clarkson (off Top Gear) did a program about this a while ago on BBC2 called "The greatest raid of all". Heres the program in 6 parts:
