Leslie Garfield Tucker
Royal Navy HMS Suffolk
from:Plymouth, Devon
My grandfather, Leslie Tucker was born in May 1924 at Plymouth, Devon, England and died in 1992 in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada
Unfortunately our family doesn't have a lot of information as he was sent to the Navy from an orphanage.
What I have been able to gather is that he was on the training ship HM St George on the Isle of Man and then was on HMS Suffolk.
The records had more information to offer on his brother, Ronald Waldron Tucker, who trained at Indefatigable in Liverpool 1936 and joined Bibby line shipping company on SS Cheshire as a deck boy and bugler in 1938.
