Steve-Hastings Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this stands for also can anyone tell me anything about H.M.M.L. 233 ? Cheers, Conor If I'm right, I'm pretty sure H.M.M.L. 233 was stationed with Auxiliary Patrol Group XVI, at the ML base attached to HMS Boadicea II, a shore establishment at Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) Ireland, and primarily responsible for protecting ships on the Holyhead-Dublin route from German U-Boat attacks. I say I'm pretty sure, because I have a Deckhand Ernest G Tozer RNR who died aboard ML 233 20th October 1918 from an "Illness" (probably the flu that was taking a lot of people down at that time). Tozer is buried in the Dean’s Grange Cemetery Dublin, but was from Bridgend, Glamorgan. Do you have any further data on ML 233 that would be of use to me?
