Anti-Aircraft Gums, Stores Lost When Supply Ship Sunk
(Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, May 8. The Lord Chancellor (Lord Hankey), speaking in the House of Lords, replying to a suggestion that the Fleet ought to have gone to Oslo, said the Fleet was chasing German ships, to which it gave battle. It could not have gone to Oslo on the particular day suggested. “One of our greatest losses was the torpedoing on April 20 of a ship leaded with anti-aircraft guns and valuable stores,” he said. “This was the only transport sunk in the whole campaign.”
