World War Two / Re: Pembroke - Ship sunk ww2 by German U boats?
« on: Sunday 30 April 17 19:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello seaweed, all I know about my fathers time in the navy is what the ministry of defence has sent to me in a letter. I managed to get replacement medals that were lost years ago. They told me the only ships and shore bases recorded were Royal Arthur and Pembroke. He was a stoker but they said war records were sparse and incomplete. So I have to bow to your knowledge.
Got his service number but not had much luck so far.
The picture of the ship was mislaid when my parents split up in the early 60s.

Thanks ladymary

My father was also on HMS Pembroke between 1942-1946. We had a picture of the ship on our wall and he used to say how it had been almost cut in half by a u-boat. Still trying to find exactly where he went but naval records not clear. His name was Arthur Leonardi, he was 18. When he signed up and I also have his medals wish I could get more info.
