THE fascinating story of the Rosneath naval base in World War Two was outlined to members of Helensburgh Heritage Trust at their meeting in Helensburgh Tennis Club on Wednesday February 25 2009.
The guest speaker was peninsula man Dennis Royal, author of ‘United States Navy Base Two: Americans at Rosneath 1941-45’ and the man who led the successful campaign for a memorial — erected in 2000 — to the American and British forces who served or trained at Rosneath during that period.
