ペデスタル作戦
The action of "Ledbury" during Operation Pedestal was the pinnacle of an otherwise uneventful career. After Operation Pedestal "Ledbury" was involved in several other convoys throughout the latter stages of the Second World War. On 17 January 1943 Convoy JW 52 set sail with fifteen ships of Loch Ewe, with a Western close escort made up of the destroyers "Ledbury", "Middleton" and "Blankney", between 17 January and 21 January. "Ledbury" and the other destroyers left the convoy with the arrival of the Eastern escort, made up of the destroyers "Onslaught", "Beagle", "Bulldog", "Matchless", "Musketeer", "Offa" and the Polish "Piorun".
