The ship was of course at the River Plate with HMS Ajax and Achilles so a very famous warship . Anyone know of any HMS Exeter association I could contact ? life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Hope" <janehope-2008@hotmail.co.uk> To: <devon@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [DEV] Exeter people/groups granted freedom of the city > Many thanks, I think I may look at hms Exeter and see if he might have > been one of the crew as I know the crew of that ship wad granted the > freedom if the city.
