Lt. Philip Culmer

Royal Navy HMS Dasher

My father's cousin, Lt. Philip Culmer, served aboard HMS Dasher between 17th March 1942 and 27th March 1943. Lt. Culmer was Navigating Officer.

HMS Dasher (escort carrier) was destroyed through internal explosion. She sank within eight minutes in the Firth of Clyde, off the Isle of Arran. Out of the 528 crew, 379 died. In the year 2000, divers placed a plaque on board the Dasher in memory of those who died there, in the deep, cold waters of the Clyde. Each year roses are strewn on the water above where HMS Dasher lies.

I know Lt. Culmer did not die in the explosion, as he went on to finish his naval career as Captain.
