Second World War Russian Arctic Convoys landmark anniversary.

A memorial event is being planned on May 16 to commemorate the end of the war and the Russian Arctic Convoys, which provided four million tons of supplies and munitions to Russia between 1941 and 1945.



The event will be held at Loch Ewe in Wester Ross, a gathering point for many of the convoys and now the site of the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum.

Veterans or their families wishing to attend the event should contact John Casson on [e-mail]

With the coronavirus situation developing and expected to peak late April and early May it has been decided that in everyone’s health interests, particularly those of the veterans and elderly, to postpone the event to mark the last Russian Arctic Convoys and the end of World War II.

The new date will be Saturday 26th September 2020, same time, same location.

The September event on the 26th September will be a fitting event to remember the Russian Arctic Convoys and those brave people who took part, never should they be forgotten, always remembered with deep gratitude.
