WAR HEROES HONOURED BY RUSSIA
British veterans who braved Arctic seas and enemy attacks to carry supplies to Russia in the Second World War have been honoured for their bravery.

Forty men who served in the famous Arctic Convoys of 1941-1945 received medals from Russian Ambassador Grigory Karasin at his London residence.

Thousands of Britons were killed during the crucial convoy missions that kept the eastern front supplied.
