More about Robert Londragan
Robert Londragan was born in Aberdeen but was the son of Mr John and Mrs Mary Londragan of 25 Rosebank Street, Dundee. He joined the Royal Naval Reserve in Aberdeen in December 1914 and was drafted to HMS Imperieuse, a Depot and Receiving Ship in Scapa Flow. From there he joined the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship Zaria which acted as a depot ship for fishing trawlers used as Minesweepers. His first ship was HM Trawler Bianca in which he served until August 1917. He was then drafted to HM Trawler Oropesa II and was onboard this ship in January 1918 when he was drowned at sea. His body was not recovered and he is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial on Southsea Common, Hampshire.
