Henry John Robert Trotter Wilson was killed in action during the Corfu Channel Incident when H.M.S. Saumarez struck an Albanian mine in the Corfu Channel on 22 October 1946; 26 of the crew of the Saumarez were killed in the explosion, including Wilson. The Channel was supposed to be mine free, and contemporary evidence suggests that the mines had been deliberately laid by the Albanians. He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial.
