![]() Photo Credits This is the Iron Monarch, in her war time livery...please note the cannon on her poop plus she had an ack ack either side of the bridge. I was on it after the war but when I was on her she still had the gun mountings on the poop deck aft. My father was on it also. He was on three ships that were hit, one strafed badly and when a bomb landed nearby he was blown into a bulk head and suffered a broken arm. Dad was on these ships during his war service...
