Yes, but where?
Only one in my town that recognises my fathers efforts during the war. *A huge clue*

Well, it was within a meter of it. A nice statue, and I do like the poem on it.
Anyway, what's this? Bonus points if you can give me the actual name. |

I Class Destroyer, could be Imperial.

Bugga!
Is it a destroyer funnel though? If so, it could be one of many in a flotilla.

Looks like a 3rd flotilla ship from the stripes. If it's not an I class, then it's not from that Flotilla. HMS Ilex was my first guess.

Must be a Pre-war A class then. No idea what name but I'll punt with Acaster.

That picture is from 1943 and shows the Bjørkhaug and the surrounding area after the explosion in Algiers harbour but I'm not getting the intended clue.
Could post the list of all the A and I Class boats but that's not cricket so I'll go for the named vessel after Acasta and pick Achates.
