An Unusual Great War U-Boat Action Distinguished Service Medal Group of Four to a Mercantile Marine Apprentice Who Went on to Command Merchant Vessels in the Second World War, Distinguished Service Medal GV, “APPRENTICE J. LIETCH MEDITERRANEAN 27 FEB 1917”, British War and Mercantile Marine War medals, “JAMES LEITCH”, Shipping Federation Medal for Meritorious Service in silver, named on the edge “J LEITCH 27TH FEB 1917”. Medal fitted with pin and catch on the reverse. (Note difference in spelling of surname on D.S.M.)Distinguished Service Medal, London Gazette 12th May 1917 - The following awards have been approved to the following men of the British Mercantile Marine, in recognition of zeal and devotion to duty shown in carrying on the trade of the country during the war. Apprentice James Leitch. Recommendation – “ADM/1/8476/298 S.S. Bellorado Bell Brothers, Glasgow. Attack by submarine 27 February 1917. Singled out together with Leading Seaman John Hutcheon by the surviving officers as deserving of recognition for the manner in which they fought the gun.”Born in Glasgow in February 1899, James Leitch was serving as a Mercantile Marine Apprentice when he won his DSM for gallantry on board the SS Bellorado.If February 1917 the Bellorado was travelling through the Mediterranean with a cargo of 5,959 tonnes of coal when a lookout saw something strange which he took to be a periscope just disappearing. Approximately three quarters of an hour later a submarine appeared of the port quarter some 2 miles astern. The submarine immediately opened fire but did not hit the Bellorado until the fifteenth round. The Bellorado returned fire with a much better aim, one shot landing at the submarine’s stern, apparently scoring a hit.The Bellorado was then hit twice with one shot hitting the wheelhouse and killing the Master, Chief Officer and an A.B. it also destroyed the compasses and disabled the steering gear. The other shot wounded 3 men as it struck the galley. The gun crew on board kept up an accurate fire and scored a second hit on the submarine just below the conning tower causing the submarine to go under stern first at a 15-20 degree angle with the final shots being fired at 5.20pm. After adjusting her steering gear, the Bellorado managed to reach Malta.In July 1928 Leitch gained his Master’s certificate and just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War he was appointed to the command of the vessel British Science.In April 1941 he was designated Commodore of the 13 ship convoy AN27 bound for Piraeus and Istanbul with British Science, carrying some 10,600 tonnes of assorted flammable fuels and oil. On 18th April the vessel was attacked by three Italian torpedo bombers one of which managed to hit the vessel on the starboard side making a hole in No.7 tank containing kerosene. The explosion blew oil all over the ship but caused no fire. Due to the fact the ship was trailing oil it was ordered to proceed independently to Suda Bay but was spotted by two more torpedo bombers who managed to score a hit on No.1 tank , this time covering the vessel with benzine but once again there was no fire. Due to the imminent danger, Captain Leitch ordered the ship abandoned and no sooner had the 43 man crew got away in two lifeboats and got round the windward side of the vessel, the ship was engulfed in flame. The crew were very soon picked up by H.M.S. Hero.Post war Leitch was given command of the cargo coaster Empire Mayring which he took out to Hong Kong. James Leitch died in Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong in June 1954. Whilst clearly entitled to campaign medals for the Second World War, Leitch does not appear to have claimed these medals.
