Having evaded anti-submarine defences to reach their target, the Commander Ian Fraser and his diver James Magennis are shown preparing to attach limpet mines to the cruiser. Fraser then managed with great skill to position the main explosives directly under the ship before retreating back through the defended waters to safety. Both were awarded the Victoria Cross for their actions that day. Small signed limited edition of 30 prints. Image size 16 inches x 12 inches (41cm x 31cm)
