This memorial is in honour of Sgt. Leonard Cater Royal Army Service Corps. During World War Two. many small ships and motor launches were requisitioned for service with the Royal Navy and many with their civilian crews. The most notable use made of small ships was during the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk in 1940. However a little known group of intrepid watermen was formed by the RASC to help ferry soldiers and supplies but were also used to deliver agents, arms and ammo to resistance forces in occupied countries incuiding Yugoslavia.
