A DETAILED 1:192 SCALE WATERLINE MODEL OF THE 'MILITARY'-CLASS TRAWLER H.M.S. GRENADIER, ORIGINALLY BUILT BY COOK, WELTON & GEMMELL, 1942
by E. Dyke, the 12½in. carved hull with detailed wood and metal fittings and armament as appropriate, with dazzle camouflage and signal flags, contained to painted display base with Plexiglass cover -- 7¾ x 21¾ x 8in. (19.5 x 55.5 x 20.5cm.)
Mainly deployed as a convoy escort, Grenadier's commander earned an oak leaf to his War medal when he saved the entire complement of thirty men of the merchantman Inger Toft which was torpedoed by U-722 on 15th March 1945. Ignoring his training, Acting Skipper Lt Arthur George Day RNR turned towards the stricken vessel instead of raising speed and dropping depth charges.
