Just a heads up for this Saturday 27th, the Anniversary of Jupiter F85 striking a mine in the Java Sea in 1942. A number of the crew were killed at that time, only a small number escaped to be picked up by allied ships and submarines, others were lost whilst trying to escape the sinking. Some of the crew reached land and were killed by the Japanese, a number were captured and held as POWs with only a few surviving until the end of the war. The HMS Jupiter Association usually have a few members attending the NMA to lay a wreath in their memory, unfortunately due to the Covid rules we will not be able to do that this year. The NMA have very kindly agreed to lay a wreath on our behalf, a picture will be posted after the event, please take a minute on Saturday at 1100hrs to acknowledge there Service and ultimate sacrifice for their Country. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
