Blu Flu ship "DIOMED"
Gents,
I am looking for some pointers on one of the ships my late Uncle served on during WW2, I have one of the pages from his discharge book, covering the second world war - Stentor (2 voyages), Glenapp (2 voyages), Ascanius and finally the elusive DIOMED.
The entry is showing his 12th ship "DIOMED" (sadly no official number is listed), he joined her in Birkenhead 13-2-1945 and left her 9-4-1945 rated as 'X 2nd Eng' (Extra Second Engineer?).
Searching the internet today I can find no trace of this ships details, from what I can see the 1917 built Diomed was sunk in 1918 and the next Bluey I can find of that name was the 50's cadet training ship.
Am I missing something, can anyone point me in the right direction?
