Description

525 Norwegians, who had been hiding from German patrols in caves on the snow covered mountains of Soroy island, Norway for three months, were rescued by four British destroyers of the Home Fleet who raced in, 60 miles behind enemy lines and took them safely to a British port (Gourock). Picture shows HMS ZEALOUS moored back at Gourack after her adventurous trip. The town can be seen shrouded in mist in the background.
