THE HEROES OF MOLDE

THREE Scots heroes who seized £300million of gold and saved the King of Norway in one of the Second World War’s most daring missions are to be honoured after 65 years. The seamen, now in their mid80s, were on board HMS Glasgow when it arrived at the under-fire town of Molde, Norway, in 1940. Donald Edwards, Martin Carroll and John Baker were among the ship’s 900 crew when they negotiated a series of narrow fjords to reach the town which was ablaze after Luftwaffe bomb raids. for more click here
