(d.22nd of August 1943)
My fourth cousin, Frederick Houldey born in December 1923 in Gloucester, served with the Royal Navy with HMS Drake IV on Levant Schooner No.4, during WW2 and went missing at sea on 22nd of August 1943.
The Levant Schooner Flotilla was an allied naval organization during World War II that facilitated covert and irregular military operations in the Aegean Sea from 1942 - 1945. It was primarily organised by the British Royal Navy and consisted of a series of commandeered caques, or local schooners, manned by British sailors, special forces, and Greek volunteers.
Frederick's name is listed on the Plymouth Naval Memorial, Devon on Panel 81, Column 1 as a Telegraphist in the Royal Navy.
