Mussolini's bunker

James Simpson with his wife, Sybil, pictured in their home in Edinburgh, Scotland.  James was crew on the cruiser HMS Jamaica through the grueling Arctic Convey escort campaign, and was on board when "Jamaica" and HMS Belfast finished off the "Scharnhorst" with torpedoes in the Battle of the North Cape.  The particularly shiny medal, third from left on his medal bar, is the Arctic Star.  Incredibly, this campaign medal (creditably, it was very inclusive) was approved only in 2002, and presented in 2003.  Best regards, JR.
