Extract from the inital report in the Cambridge Daily News in 1941:

MISSING ON WAR
SERVICE
Motor Mechanic
L. J. Peck

Mr. and Mrs. B. Peck, of 37, Stourbridge Grove, Cambridge, have received news that their only son, Motor Mechanic Leonard J. Peck, has been reported missing while on war service. The Commodore in his letter to the parents says: “There is insufficient evidence at present to show whether your son may be alive or not.”

Motor Mechanic Peck was educated at the Brunswick and Central Schools. For some years he was employed at Cook’s Motor Works, Newmarket Road, and afterwards for a short time was in the service of the Cambridge Co-operative Society.

He joined the Navy last year, at the age of 20.
