New campaign launched to trace surviving members of the Russian Arctic Convoys and their families
A global appeal has been launched today to trace the last remaining veterans of the Second World War Russian Arctic Convoys in time for a 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.
Organisers are now trying to track down any other veterans from the UK and Russia to join the commemoration which will be attended by senior members of the military and leading dignitaries.
