Leonidas Paul Lambrinudi was born at Paddington, London on the 4th of March 1916 the elder son of Emanuel Leonidas Lambrinudi MC, a merchant and Member of the London Stock Exchange, and Despina (nee Coundouriotis) Lambrinudi of 69, Sussex Gardens, London W2 and of 3, Rue Neophyton Vamra, Athens in Greece. He was educated at Westminster School where he was up Homeboarders from September 1929 to July 1931. He went on to Athens University where he graduated with a degree in law.
Following the outbreak of war he joined the Royal Hellenic Navy and was posted to the submarine Katsonis (N16), under the command of Commander Vasileios Laskos. In September 1943, the submarine Katsonis departed from Alexandria on a mission to drop agents on the coast of Euboea in the Aegean and then to conduct a short patrol off Micaria before returning to base. Shortly after 8pm on the 14th of September she was running on the surface at the northern entrance to the Euboea Channel where she was stalking a German troop transport ship. She was spotted by the German auxiliary patrol vessel UJ 2101, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Vollheim, which was escorting a local convoy. The Katsonis dived but was attacked with depth charges which forced her to the surface. UJ 2101 opened fire on her and the submarine responded with her deck guns but this was soon disabled. UJ 2101 then closed and rammed her and she sank off the island of Skiathos near the smaller island of Trikeri. Thirty two of the submarines crew were killed with fourteen being rescued by the German vessel. Three other survivors managed to avoid capture and swam for nine hours before reaching Skiathos. Leonidas Lambrinudi was among the dead.
