Three: Captain Henry E. Wall, Royal Naval Reserve, holder of the Lloyd’s silver Medal for Saving Life, the Shipwrecked Mariners Society Medal, the Emile Robins Award, and a gold medal from the Canadian Government British War Medal 1914-20 (Lieut. H. E. Wall. R.N.R.); Mercantile Marine War Medal (Henry E. Wall.); Victory Medal 1914-19 (Lieut. H. E. Wall. R.N.R.) good very fine (3) £180-£220 --- Henry Edwin Wall was born in Devonport in 1877, and commenced working as a reader’s assistant with The Western Daily Mercury newspaper. The job was not to his taste and he obtained a seagoing apprenticeship. He was lucky to survive his first voyage, aged 16 years, on the barque Cumbrian (sailing ship) when with two anchors down, she was being dragged to the shore. The rescue rocket apparatus was deployed (one newspaper article states he was rescued by the apparatus, another that he remained on the ship). A tug attended in time to rescue the ship from being wrecked. He served for 5 years on the Cumbrian and achieved the rank of 2nd mate before transferring to steam vessels. In 1901 he secured his Master’s Ticket and was serving on the Mira (steel four-masted steamer, built 1901). On 15 December 1902, the Mira was in the North Atlantic, off the Newfoundland Banks, the weather was bad with a moderate gale blowing and a heavy beam sea running. The J. N. Wylde (Canadian schooner) was sighted flying her ensign upside down (the international signal of distress), and on closing it was observed that the top mast and all sail was gone, as was the bowsprit. Her Captain signalled that they were in a bad way with the ship leaking badly, pumps choked, crew crippled and they wished to be taken off. A life boat from the Mira was lowered being skippered by Wall and manned by five of the crew. After several attempts they managed to take off the crew of nine, the master and his wife (and cat). The conditions were so rough and dangerous it took four and a half hours to make three journeys to get all the crew off, some of whom were suffering from frostbite. The rescue lifeboat took some heavy knocks in the process and the Mira’s second life boat was standing by in case the rescue boat required rescuing. Due to the condition of the J. N. Wylde, it was decided to sink her as she was a danger to shipping. Hall returned to the derelict ship, boarded and managed to set it alight to sink the ship. As a result of the rescue effort Captain Hill was awarded the Lloyds Silver Life Saving Medal (1903), The Shipwrecked Mariners Society Medal, the Emile Robins Award for the most meritorious rescue for the year, and also received a gold medal from the Canadian Government. The other members of the boat crew received bronze medals. Shortly after this he was employed by the Great Western Railway Marine Department (Plymouth), mail and passenger service, commanding the tenders Cheshire, Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake. He finished as Dockmaster at Plymouth after working for the company some 35 years and retired in 1938. During the Great War, the G.W.R. tenders were employed in the examination service and he captained the Atalanta III which was equipped with powerful salvage pumps. Based at the Isles of Scilly they assisted damaged ships that had been torpedoed or mined. Due to the nature of the work Wall was appointed to a temporary commission as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Reserve from June 1917 to March 1920. The Atalanta III was involved in the attempted rescue/salvage of the ‘Q’ ship Dunraven which even though torpedoed was attempting to lure the U boat to the surface. Captain Wall died in March 1939. Sold with copied research including R.N.R service record, Great Western Railway Employment Records, 1911 census, 1st mate certificate and various newspaper articles.

On offer from the Piddington Collection. After filming Series 5 and 6 of The Avengers, the Television Company gave this super little S3 Drophead to Diana Rigg who played Emma Peel in 51 episodes of the long-running British TV series.The Avengers was a spy-fi British television series set in 1960s Britain and focused initially on the exploits of Dr. David Keel (Ian Hendry) and his assistant John Steed (Patrick Macnee). Hendry left after the first series and Steed became the main character, partnered by a succession of intelligent, stylish and assertive female assistants with Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) and later, Tara King (Linda Thorson), all becoming household names at the time. Later episodes increasingly incorporated elements of science fiction, fantasy, parody and classic British eccentricity becoming a little weirder as the years went by. The Avengers ran from 1961 until 1969, screening as one-hour episodes its entire run and, in the end, had been shown in over 90 countries.The late Diana Rigg joined for Series 4 and took part in 51 episodes leaving after Series 6. During Series 4, she was often seen driving a Cirrus White Elan S2 (HNK 999C) however that was returned to Lotus (subsequently becoming the property of a director’s wife) and for Series 5 (the first in colour), an early production S3 was offered by Lotus for the series which had started to become popular in the US with obvious marketing benefits. The car is often described as an S3-SE but is, in fact, a high-spec standard pre-airflow car with the four bolt-crank, rope seal and blue cam-cover engine. It was, however, fitted with knock-on wheels and polished sill trims similar to the SE. It was finished from new in Jaguar Opalescent Blue and has been faithfully repainted in the correct shade during its recent restoration. SJH 499D featured in 19 episodes and at the end of Series 6 the car was gifted to Diana Rigg by the TV production company, ABC Television, we imagine with some support from Lotus who had undoubtedly benefited from the little car’s worldwide fame.She wasn’t really a keen driver at the time (she only learned to drive for the show) and shortly afterwards gave the Elan to a friend. At this point, SJH 499D commenced its international travels as Diana’s friend sold the car a few years later to her sister who lived in America. It was subsequently purchased by Peter Nelson’s ‘Cars of the Stars Museum’ in Keswick, returning to the UK and remaining there, amidst some exalted company, until it closed in 2011. The world of ‘Movie Cars’ is quite small and Florida-based, Michael Dezer, acted very quickly to secure this Elan (along with most of the other Keswick cars) for his Dezer Collection at the Miami Auto Museum so. For the third time, SJH 499D traversed the Atlantic. That same level of tenacity was exhibited by our Northamptonshire vendor who managed to persuade Michael Dezer to part with the Emma Peel car in 2013 and, once again, the Opalescent Blue S3 confirmed its ‘frequent flyer’ status and returned to the UK.In common with all the Elans in this fabulous collection, the car was entrusted to the well respected team of Ken and Neil Myers to commence a full, body-off, long-term restoration to their normal remarkable standards. Pleasingly the chassis, body and engine are all original as are the black leather seats that were fitted when the car was new. A Westminster radio transceiver was also sourced and fitted into the glove box to recreate those ‘Avengers’ moments when Peel contacted Steed.The Elan has an indicated mileage of 2,552 which may well be correct with its limited use on the film set and in three important Collections. Given its exposure over 19 episodes in a TV series that was viewed in over 90 countries and the fact that many of these episodes are still available to view today, we feel confident in suggesting that this is the most famous Lotus Elan in the world and appears very sensibly guided considering its spectacular condition and unrepeatable sixties movie star provenance.As well as an original Elan tool kit, the usual registration documentation, an extract from the factory Car Allocation records and correspondence from Lotus, SJH 499D is accompanied by a remarkable collection of Avengers memorabilia and we doubt if there is a larger collection anywhere. It includes 3 x VHS Tapes with appropriate details known as "The First Ever Episodes Collection", 12 DVDs with special pics entitled "The Avengers: The Complete 50th Anniversary Collection", a further 19 x DVD collection (digitally re-mastered) in a presentation box by De Wreckers, books; "Bowler Hats and Kinky Boots: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to "The Avengers"  by Michael Richardson, "Mrs Peel-We're Needed"  by Rodney Marshall, "The Avengers - A Celebration"  by Marcus Hearn, an LP with the Theme Music by the Laurie Johnson Orchestra, more books about Stars and their Cars, John Steed & Emma Peel Deluxe Talking Action Figures (unopened), Corgi 1/43rd model of the Elan in its box, lots of original photographs - some official press releases and lots that were taken by others on set - all unrepeatable.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELAN S3Year: 1966Chassis Number: 456114Registration Number: SJH 499DTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6768Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2552 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

A scarce Second War 1942 ‘Channel Air/Sea Rescue’ C.G.M. group of five awarded to Chief Motor Mechanic L. C. T. Adams, Royal Naval Reserve, who took part in a noble, but ultimately doomed, joint Naval and R.A.F. Air/Sea Rescue operation to save the fighter ace Wing Commander ‘Paddy’ Finucane who had been shot down and ditched into the sea south west of Boulogne, 15 July 1942. Four launches, M.L.s 139, 141 and R.A.F. H.S.L.s 138 and 140, set out for the stricken aircraft only to come under concentrated attack from at least 10 F.W. 190 fighter aircraft. Adams’ launch, M.L. 139, was attacked on five separate occasions, suffering casualties to the crew and hits which set the fuel tanks on fire. Adams and one other advanced into this inferno, surrounded by deadly gas, and managed to control the fires enough for the ship to withdraw - ‘That was the last attack, and three damaged boats came safely to harbour with their load of wounded. The courage of their crews under this fierce onslaught showed most eloquently how the human spirit can rise above such grim horror and misfortune and the ugliness of war’ Conspicuous Gallantry Medal, G.VI.R.

Air/Sea Rescue Craft were heavily attacked by enemy aircraft in the Straits of Dover.’ The original recommendation (jointly listed with D/JX. 133162 Able Seaman G. Sandford) for an immediate C.G.M. states: ‘On 15th July 1942, H.M. M.L.139 with three other craft was engaged in rescuing airmen from the sea in the Dover Strait when she was attacked by 12 or more F.W.190s. M.L.139 was hit and a fire was started in the petrol compartment. Adams together with another rating [Sandford] entered the almost inaccessible compartment without breathing apparatus and put out the fire. Their action, knowing that the compartment contained over a thousand gallons of high octane spirit, that a tank was holed and vapour was present with the ship under fire from the enemy showed the greatest courage and devotion. These two men undoubtedly saved the ship by their bravery, resource and initiative.’ Leslie Charles Adams resided in Court Hill, Sanderstead, Surrey. He served with the Royal Naval Reserve during the Second World War, and distinguished himself whilst serving with Motor Launch 139 in an Air/Sea Rescue capacity, 15 July 1942. The incident is related in detail in The Battle of the Narrow Seas, A History of the Light Coastal Forces in the Channel and North Sea, 1939-1945, by Lieutenant Commander P. Scott, M.B.E., D.S.C. & Bar, R.N.V.R.: ‘Air/Sea Rescue is a duty shared between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. The R.A.F. uses H.S.L.s (High Speed Launches) and the Navy uses specially constructed R.M.L.s (Rescue Motor Launches), which are larger and slower. Besides these vessels specially designed for the work many other ships have been required to go to the assistance of airmen in distress, amongst them all kinds of Coastal Force craft. Air/Sea Rescue is an all-weather job, for the airmen are just as likely to crash into the sea when it is rough as when it is smooth; the boats must put forth in foul weather as well as fair, for broken hull frames are of no consequence when there are lives to be saved. The R.M.L.s based on the east coast, for example, have done their unspectacular work magnificently, far out in the North Sea, searching in all weathers for the crews of our own and American aircraft damaged in the air battles over the Continent. With the steady increase in air activity, A.S.R. work increased proportionately... With our ever-increasing control of the skies, the danger of being attacked by enemy aircraft while engaged on A.S.R. work grew steadily less. But in the summer of 1942 it was still a serious menace. For example, on the 15th July in the course of a fighter sweep, Wing Commander “Paddy” Finucane, D.S.O., D.F.C., was shot down into the sea 7 miles south-west of Boulogne. Two H.S.L.s and two M.L.s were directed to attempt the rescue, although it was later discovered that he had not survived the crash. The boats reached the Bullock Bank in mid-Channel at about 1.20 in the afternoon when the first of a series of devastating attacks was carried out on them by ten Focke Wulf 190 fighters. First H.S.L. 140 was hit, suffering casualties of one killed and one wounded. One of the aircraft, however, was seen to be damaged. The remainder made H.S.L. 138 (commanded by F/O. W. E. Walters, R.A.F.) the object of their concentrated attention. Walters was wounded in the first attack on his boat and fell forward into the fo’c’sle; the forward gunner was also wounded, but in spite of that the H.S.L. kept firing until all its ammunition was expended. By that time it was burning from stem to stern. The nursing orderly, Aircraftman W. Morgan, who had been badly wounded in the arm, continued to carry out his duties and attended to the casualties below. Every member of the ship’s company had by now been wounded and the fo’c’sle was full of smoke. The attacks continued and a moment later Morgan was killed. Flying Officer Walters and Aircraftman M. Pring, themselves both wounded in the legs but realising the imminent necessity for abandoning ship, struggled to carry the gunner to the upper deck. When finally they succeeded they collapsed on the deck. Aircraftman Pring was the first to come to, and he pushed the other two over the side and joined them in the water. Having set the H.S.L. on fire the German fighters switched their attack to M.L. 139. Her Commanding Officer - Lt. A. R. S. Hodgson, R.N.V.R., records that they made five runs, in the first of which the fuel tanks were set on fire. The second caused another fire aft and a number of casualties, but in each of these runs one aircraft was damaged and the second time pieces were seen to fall off the target. Each successive attack increased the damage and the casualties. The fires were the most serious menace, however. The methyl-bromide extinguishers had been released in the petrol compartment, but the fire was only partially extinguished and the compartment was filled with the deadly gas. In spite of this, Acting Chief Motor Mechanic L. Adams and Able Seaman G. Sandford, armed with hoses and Pyrenes, entered this most inaccessible compartment without breathing apparatus and put out the fire. They both worked in this confined space well knowing that the tank, with over a thousand gallons of high-octane spirit, had been pierced and that petrol vapour was present which might explode at any time; and in addition the ship was still under fire. In the opinion of the Commanding Officer the ship was saved by the bravery and resource of these two men, who were later awarded the C.G.M. When the Germans flew off and the fires had been brought under control, M.L. 139, with two officers and two ratings wounded, went at once to the assistance of the burning H.S.L., where three survivors were taken from the water. M.L. 141 which had so far escaped attack, although she had been engaging the Germans as they attacked the others, rescued seven more survivors of the H.S.L. from their raft and proceeded to destroy the blazing wreck by depth charges. Twenty minutes later six more F.W. 190s appeared, and although our Spitfires were protecting the other M.L., the enemy managed to carry out one run on 141 from ahead, in the course of which one officer was killed and three ratings we...

A fine Second War ‘Malta Convoy’ D.S.M. group of six awarded to Chief Stoker C. E. Hughes, Royal Navy, for his gallantry during the Second Battle of Sirte on 22 March 1942 when H.M.S. Kingston was hit by a 15-inch shell whilst escorting convoy MW10 from Alexandria to Malta; arriving in Malta he was wounded when the stricken Kingston was hit during an air raid on the Grand Harbour on 4 April 1942 and later sank; he had previously been recommended for the D.S.M. for his services in the same ship, for which he was ultimately Mentioned in Despatches Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (K.58629 W. C. Hughes. Ch. Sto.); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star, 1 clasp, North Africa 1942-43; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf, nearly extremely fine (6) £1,400-£1,800 --- D.S.M. London Gazette 8 September 1942: ‘For gallantry, skill and seamanship in H.M. Ships... Kingston... in a brilliant action against strong enemy forces which were driven off and severely damaged. This action resulted in the safe passage to Malta of an important convoy.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘For fine leadership, initiative and devotion to duty as senior rating of damage control parties when the ship was hit by a 15” shell. Through his efforts and organising ability a fire which might have proved serious was extinguished before it had a chance to get out of control.’ In his report to the Admiralty, Commander Philip Sommerville, D.S.O, D.S.C., R.N., records: ‘I have the honour to report my proceedings during and after the action between the convoy escort and enemy surface forces during the passage of convoy MW10 from Alexandria to Malta. A Divisional torpedo attack was launched at an enemy battleship accompanied by three cruisers. These forces engaged the division with main and secondary armaments. At 18:46 on 22 March Kingston was hit by a 15-inch shell which passed through the whaler on the starboard side, through No. 2 Boiler Room intake and the S.R.E. Room, and exploded under the port Oerlikon platform. Shortly after managing a turn to fire our torpedoes the ship stopped. Before the enemy battleship passed out of view she was seen to be on fire forward and the explosion of one torpedo was observed. The widespread damage to Kingston was quickly got under control by prompt and resourceful action by all hands. The fire in the S.R.E. Room was extinguished remarkably quickly. Nearly all the torpedo tubes crew were killed or wounded and on the 4-inch gun deck no one escaped injury. Casualties were also sustained on the Oerlikon and searchlight platforms and at ‘X’ gun. One officer and fourteen ratings were killed and one officer and twenty ratings wounded. By 19:05 the Kingston was able to proceed on the starboard engine at 16 knots which later increased to 20 knots. I proceeded independently to Malta. I entered Malta Harbour at 08:38 on 23 March.’ M.ID. London Gazette 11 June 1942: ‘For services aboard H.M.S. Kingston’ (downgraded D.S.M. recommendation). Edward Charles Hughes was born in Hackney, London, on 21 January 1902 and entered the Royal Navy as a Stoker Second Class in H.M.S. Victory on 24 March 1920. Advanced Stoker Petty Officer on 290 December 1928, he was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal on 22 June 1935, and having been advanced Chief Stoker joined H.M.S. Kingston on 15 September 1939, serving in her during the first three years of the Second World War. Hughes was awarded the D.S.M. for his gallantry during a convoy to Malta on 22 March 1942, and having arrived safely in the Grand Harbour was wounded during an air raid on Malta on 4 April 1942; Commander Philip Somerville, the Captain of H.M.S. Kingston, was killed in this raid, along with one other officer and ten ratings. Kingston was hit again by a bomb on 8 April, and three days later, on 11 April 1942, she received another direct hit which broke her back and she sank. Hughes’s D.S.M. was announced in September 1942, in the same London Gazette that the operational awards for Operation Pedestal were announced, and he was subsequently congratulated by Lieutenant G. J. Kirkby, D.S.C., formerly of H.M.S. Kingston, on 29 October 1942: ‘Dear Hughes, I was delighted to read your name among those in the recent list of awards for our action in March. Please accept my heartiest congratulations. It is a shame we are not still all happily together to celebrate in the old style in the Wardroom. I could then thank you personally for the splendid work you did on that occasion, and for your continuous hard work and efficiency and unfailing loyalty to all of us throughout all that grand commission. Are you recovered from the injuries you received in April? It nearly broke my heart to lose the Captain and so many friends, and to think of the old ship being so remorsely attacked during that unhappy period. I have been out of Destroyers since that time, but hope to go back very soon. Again let me congratulate you and wish you good luck.’ Hughes was invalided out of the Royal Navy on 16 March 1943. Sold with the recipient’s original M.I.D. certificate, dated 11 June 1942, and original letter to Hughes from Lieutenant Kirkby, as quoted above; together with copied record of service and other research.

Flight Lieutenant George Frederick Andrews on joining the RAF volunteered for aircrew and trained as a Navigator. His logbook records his first flight on the 30th November 1942. Whilst at 28 OTU he undertook his first operation over enemy territory on the 11th June 1943 a Nickel run to Le Man’s the port engine of the Wellington bomber noted as U/S. In January 1944 he was posted to 295 Squadron although classified as Transport Command the squadron was operational flying the Albemarle twin engineed aircraft. His first mission with 295 was to Le Man’s on the 11 March 1944 6 containers + 2 Packages, the later usually referring to a SOE agent. The squadron undertook Glider towing training and the log reports on the 5/6 June 1944 “Operation Tonga Invasion of continent France 10 Paratroopers 4 containers dropped near Caen at 00.24 No. 4 aircraft”.

‘With reference to my recommendations for recognition of officers and men of TRIBUNE in respect of the sinking of a U-boat I would like to stress that this achievement was outstanding observing that this is the first occasion on which an attack has been successfully carried out solely by means of Asdic by a submerged submarine against an enemy submerged submarine which was at no time sighted during the attack.’ (Vice-Admiral Submarines Sir Max Horton to Naval Secretary to First Lord of Admiralty, 18 October 1940) A Second War submariner’s D.S.M. group of five awarded to Petty Officer (Torpedo Gunner’s Mate) G. W. Butler, Royal Navy, for good services in H.M. Submarine Tribune during patrols in 1940, but more specifically on the occasion of her attack on U-56 in September 1940 when it was believed to have been sunk Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (J.110779 G. W. Butler. P.O. R.N.) impressed naming; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; War Medal 1939-45, these three all privately named ‘J.110779 P.O. George W. Butler D.S.M. R.N. H.M. Submarine’; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., G.VI.R., 1st issue (J.110779 G. W. Butler. P.O. H.M.S. Forth.) mounted as worn, the last with an edge bruise, otherwise good very fine (5) £1,000-£1,400 --- D.S.M. London Gazette 12 November 1940: ‘For good service in recent patrols. - Petty Officer George William Butler.’ The recommendation states: ‘George William Butler, Petty Officer T.G.M. P/J.110779. For promptness in bringing the torpedo armament to the ready and speed in carrying out the many changes of orders for the torpedoes necessitated by the nature of the attack.’ One of 4 D.S.M.’s awarded to Tribune on this occasion. The commanding officer Lieutenant E. F. Balston received the D.S.O., and Lieutenant J. C. Ogle the D.S.C., six ratings also being mentioned in despatches. In his patrol report Lieutenant Balston describes the attack against a submerged U-boat on 6 September 1940, and is convinced of a successful ‘kill’: ‘0633 There was some evidence from adsics that we had been fired at, possibly three torpedoes, but these were never heard to detonate. Very loud water noises were heard close ahead in three distinct waves. The operator described these as ”rushes of water similar to that heard on firing torpedoes”. (In this connection I think the target, although knowing we were close, had no very exact idea of our whereabouts. This might account for him being as shallow as he was when we fired.) During this time TRIBUNE was stopped deep. 0637 Came up to 60ft, target right ahead range 1000yds. I was still trying to predict the movement of the target acrioss my bow and at 0638, range 700yds closing, this was 2º a minute from port to starboard. 0640 Fired two torpedoes at 4 second interval set to 44ft and 38ft, depth of submarine 70ft, using centre of asdic target as point of aim. Twenty five seconds after first torpedo there was a violent explosion and all H.E. immediately ceased. The second torpedo detonated eight minutes later having run off its range. Came to periscope depth after first explosion, nothing in sight. 0655 Surfaced to look for evidence. A considerable quantity of oil was visible on the surface and a sock and a glove and what may have been a coat were seen, but could not be found again after turning and it is doubtful if these could have been recovered as it was too rough to put a man over the side. 0715 Dived and carried out asdic search but nothing could be located. 0813 Surfaced to carry out further search. Oil on the surface was more widespread, long streaks tailing to leeward, and a patch of heavy brown sludge about six feet in diameter was seen to come to the surface close to the bow. The Engineer Officer stated this was what might be expected from the bottom of a fuel tank. I also saw a seagull soaked with oil trying to take off from the sea but obviously unable to do so. 0905 Abandoned search and proceeded. Weather: Wind force 5 to 6 from west. Sea rough.’ In forwarding his recommendations for awards, Vice-Admiral Sir Max Horton emphasised to the Naval Secretary to First Lord of Admiralty, Rear-Admiral E.N. Syfret, ‘I have no doubt that the U-boat was sunk.’ However, it later transpired that according to German records the only U-boat operating in that area had been the U-56, but she reported no attack and survived until April 1945, when she was scuttled at Kiel after being damaged by U.S. bombs. It is now an accepted fact that Tribune did not sink a U-boat on this occasion and her early history should read as below. H.M. Submarine Tribune was launched in December 1938 and completed in October 1939. Her first active service patrols took her to Norwegian waters where, on 6 January 1940, she fired 6 torpedoes against an enemy submarine in the Skagerrak, about 15 nautical miles east-north-east of Skagen, Denmark, but without success. On 22 June 1940, she made another torpedo attack on an enemy merchant vessel off Standlandet, Norway, but all torpedoes missed. On 6 September 1940, she attacked the German U-56 about 15 nautical miles north-east of St Kilda, Hebrides, but the two torpedoes fired both missed their target.

London Gazette 5 January 1943: ‘For great courage, skill and determination in a successful submarine patrol. - Acting Stoker Petty Officer Edwin John James.’ Seedies Roll confirms award for a ‘successful attack on a U-boat on 21 October 1942.’ The remarkable story of the capture of the U-570 and subsequent service in the Royal Navy as H.M. Submarine Graph is told in detail online in Wikipedia from which some of the following has been extracted: Graph departed from Holy Loch for her first Royal Navy war patrol on 8 October 1942, with the intention of patrolling the Bay of Biscay. On the afternoon of 21 October 1942, about 50 nautical miles north-north-east of Cape Ortegal, Graph dived to evade a German Fw 200 long-range patrol aircraft. A loud hydrophone contact made Lieutenant Marriott believe a nearby submarine had likewise dived and, 12 minutes later, he observed its conning-tower against the setting sun. After pursuing the German boat, Graph fired four torpedoes. Explosions were heard, and also banging noises, leading the British to believe they had hit the other submarine and the banging noises were caused by her breaking up as she sank. In early 1943, Marriott was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for “great courage, skill and determination in a successful submarine patrol” - Lieutenant Swanston gained a Bar to his D.S.C. and six D.S.M.’s went to other members of her crew. After the war, examination of German records showed the submarine attacked was the U-333, badly damaged after being rammed by the Flower-class corvette H.M.S. Crocus off the coast of West Africa. German lookouts had seen the torpedoes’ tracks, enabling U-333 to evade them. The torpedoes then self-detonated for unknown reasons. The commander of U-333 was Peter-Erich Cremer who, in his post-war account of the attack, suggested the rattling and banging noises Graph’s crew had heard were due to the severe damage previously inflicted on U-333. His route back to France closely hugged the Spanish coastline, a pattern followed by other U-boats, and he had also believed that Marriott was aware of this and had been lying in wait. Graph completed two further war patrols but defects, exacerbated by a shortage of spare parts, led to her being placed in reserve and decommissioned from active service on 21 June 1943.
