119 Personal knowledge, BUTLER-ELLIS, Roger. HMS Vimiera was an Admiralty V class destroyer built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend-on-Tyne. Her keel was laid down in October 1916, she was launched 22 June 1917, and commissioned 19 September 1917. She took part in several actions in the Great War with the 2nd Light Cruiser Section.

During peace time she spent most of her time laid up in Rosyth. When the Second World War began she was undergoing reconstruction to Fast Escort which was completed on 12 February 1940. Her pennant was D 23 and changed to L 29 upon completion of the refit. She began duty escorting conveys along the East coast.

By May 1940 the blitzkrieg had swept the British armies back to the channel ports. On 22 May, in an effort to hold the port of Boulogne, two battalions of the Guards were sent, escorted by the Whitshed and the Vimiera. It soon became evident that the port was doomed and the next day she, and four other vessels, brought out 1000 men, each under close range enemy fire.

The Vimiera returned across the Channel and, in the darkness, crept back into the harbour and laid alongside the jetty. Everything was silent and after a time a mob of civilian refugees and French and Belgian troops appeared and rushed on board. A messenger was sent to collect the thousand Guards still around the town and by 02:45 some 1500 people had been packed on board. The ship left the jetty leaving 3000 Welsh Guardsmen to wait for another ship which, sadly, never came. Under heavy shellfire, Vimiera returned to Dover.

The next day, 24 May, Vimiera was ordered back along with HMS Wessex, another destroyer. At 16:20 they were engaged in shelling a German armoured column at Sangatte Hill and proceeding along a seaside road just west of Calais. They were joined by the Polish destroyer Burza. Ten minutes after the Burza arrived, the allies were attacked by 27 German airplanes. The first round of bombs struck the Wessex which quickly sank. The Vimiera was badly damaged and forced to hide behind a smoke screen, unable to take further part in the fighting. The air attack concentrated on the Burza until the planes had dropped all their bombs whereupon they departed. The Burza, with her bow mutilated, managed to reach Dover under her own power, from there she was towed to Portsmouth for repairs. Vimiera limped back to Sheerness.

After repairs were made she returned to her mundane duties of convoy escort up and down the East coast from the Humber to the Thames.

On 9 January 1942 the Vimiera, under the command of Lt. Cdr. Angus Alexander Mackenzie RNR, was escorting a southbound convey when she struck a mine and sank in the Thames estuary, off the Nore light, at position 51º28'N 00º55'N. The ship disintegrated forward of the aft funnel and 92 members of the crew perished.
