Flotilla moored at Menai Bridge pier after the war

Nine vessels of the patrol moored in line abreast at
Menai Bridge pier, dressed overall to celebrate the armistice in November, 1918. Mr Jones remembers M.L. 325 jettisoning her depth charges in Llandudno Bay after the armistice and later that day she was brought alongside Llandudno pierhead where Mr Jones recalls flying a celebratory Union Jack at the pierhead flagstaff.

This photograph was produced in the form of a postcard.

Prior to the Armistice M.L. 325 was part of the Queenstown Command (Auxiliary Patrol Zone XXI). It is likely that at least some of the other M.L.'s in this photograph were from Queenstown as well since only six M.L.'s were maintained in Zone XXI after the Armistice for traffic control.
