After first serving on a Russian convoy my father, a Royal Navy CPO was taken from the ship in Iceland very ill. When he recovered, back in the Royal Navy, his job was supervising the bodies into coffins, from ships that had arrived after being hit by the enemy. It’s was just trying to complete a body as most were in pieces. Yes a lot of dreadful things people witnessed in war. Lots of mistakes were made. Thinking of Lord Mountbatten, sadly you can’t be libelled after death.
