30th May 2002	HMS ZULU By Andy Lee I do apologise Alan if this following subject is viewed not to be relevent to the Rorke's Driftvc.com site. I was reading a recent article all about HMS Zulu which operated during World War II and which was sunk in the Mediterranean in September 1942. The article went on to say little has been written about this destroyer which once shadowed the Bismarck for 24 hours before the battle with HMS Rodney and King George V. The article ended with a plea from an ex serviceman who served on HMS Zulu asking to hear from fellow sailors who had served on this destroyer. If you consider what these boys did for this country I thought it was worth mentioning just in case anyone out there has any information. I would gladly pass anything on to the magazine editor. Once again I do apoloise Alan if this subject is viewed unconnected to this site.
