Thanks Spike, i already have this info. What i'm really looking for is more of its service history. I know it was involved in a couple of russian convoys and several atlantic convoys, also that it helped protect western approaches from u-boat attack during the normandy landings. Just need a breakthrough !
HMS Domett was part of the 3rd Escort Group
This project has not reached 1943 but you might be find references from war diaries once they get to the last couple of years of the war.
