| 14.06.1917 | Fishing about 35 miles east of May Island
Firth of Forth, when she was attacked by submarine at 2,000 yards. It was ten o'clock at night, and the
trawler, after the third round, secured her fishing gear and returned the fire. The enemy was evidently surprised, for after the
trawler had fired three shells the German broke off the engagement and submerged, but with his fourth and fifth rounds he had hit
the trawler killing two and wounding
another couple. Those killed:- C.H. Mitchell & J. T. Peters both
deckhands. Lieutenant J.C. Jones R.N.V.R awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. |
