  Exeter’s Battle of the River Plate
Exhibition remembers HMS Exeter’s part in historic battle
HMS Exeter’s involvement in the Battle of the River Plate is to be remembered at an exhibition to commemorate the 85th Anniversary of the famous Second World War naval battle.
The exhibition will take place at Exeter’s historic Guildhall on Friday 13 December, from 10am to 4pm.
The exhibition will feature a range of historic items from HMS Exeter, including a ceremonial spade and the original Ensign Flag with the bullet holes. A replica of the ship will also be on display.
The Battle of the River Plate took place in the South Atlantic on 13 December 1939 and was the first major naval battle of the Second World War.
Ships from the Royal Navy’s South American Division took on the German heavy cruiser Admiral Graf Spee, which was successfully attacking merchant shipping.
