On 1 April 1945, Colin Christensen, crew aboard HMS Zealous on service in the Arctic Ocean wrote a letter home to his mother. He described some of the activities his ship had been involved in, including Arctic Convoy duties and a raid on the Norwegian coast to rescue refugees.

The Christensen family have graciously  permitted the letter to be available on the ACCNZ website and it can be viewed by clicking on the link at left.
