Hugh Posted 17 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 17 October , 2005 Do you also have details of the ship's service between 3/19 and 12/19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swift1914 Posted 22 October , 2005 Share Posted 22 October , 2005 Leander was the depot ship for the 20th destroyer flotilla and was based at Immingham. Between March and November she was berthed at the Mineral Quay, occasionally putting to sea with the flotilla on manoevres. On 14th November 1919 she left Immingham for Devonport and was paid off on 16th December 1919. My grandfather was PO Tel on Leander during this time, and I've just read this information in his diaries. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
