    Another one I need some help on. This is my
    wifes Grandfather (still alive but a bit sketchy)

    He said he served with the Royal Marine 418
    Kings Squadron (Queens Squadron)

    PLY-X4358 / Stone house

    Ships served on:-

    HMS Norfolk
    HMS Ajax
    HMS Aruria (I think this may be spelt wrong)

    Also mentioned taking the Norwegein famliy
    back after the war/Northern Atlantic Fleet/
    the sinking of 11 out 13 ships trying escape/
    Egypt, Greece, Singapore, Malaya

    The above was in no particular order

    Any info please as I've drawn a blank as
    I can not find any record of this Squadron

    Thanks
