Welcome to my pages for HMS Kite. I hope this makes it easy for you to find the information which brought you to these pages in the first place. You will find buttons to all the relevant pages here. Please inform me of any email address changes. I cannot keep you informed if I do not know your email address & I have included a page entitled "Echoes" which is for you all to leave messages. This is updated as I received new messages. Any such emails should be headed Kite Messages. That is an important page for personal information, please read. Ray Holden has formed the HMS Kite Association - more details on that page. All information and a lot of images contained on these pages are copyright © Mike Kemble/Ray Holden.

HMS Kite |
"That when war comes to a country there is only one course for its people to take, and that is to fight as hard as they can until it is won... or lost. That it is necessary for the sacrifice, the unselfish and continuing effort and the heroism of deliberate courage to be recorded so that it cannot ever be forgotten. That the strain, discomfort and boredom which are the three predominant factors in modern warfare cannot be brought into their true perspective in a book of this kind, or it would be so long and dull that nobody would read it. That there is no glory to be had out of war that cannot be had out of some greater and more creative enterprise. That nothing will ever compensate us for the men we have lost, not even the way so many of them died. They were ready to die because they wanted to save their children and their children’s children from future wars. The least and the most that any of us can do is to devote ourselves to finding a complete and lasting peace, and then to maintaining it with all our energy." Lt Comdr Sir Peter Scott. The Battle Of The Narrow Seas. 1945. |
