ALDIS

Harry

Believed to be Petty Officer Stoker 283643, Royal Navy, HMS Aboukir. Died 22/09/1914. Commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial. HMS Aboukir, an old 1st Class armoured cruiser, was part of Cruiser Force C, in an area of the North Sea known as the Broad Fourteens (HMS Eurylus, HMS Cressy and HMS Hogue were the other three cruisers). HMS Eurylus had technical problems and returned to port. Early on September 22nd 1914 the German submarine U9 under the command of Commander Otto Weddigen sighted the Cressy, Aboukir and Hogue steaming NNE at 10 knots without zigzagging. Although the patrols were supposed to maintain 12-13 knots and zigzag the old cruisers were unable to maintain that speed and the zigzagging order was widely ignored as there had been no submarines sighted in the area during the war. HMS Aboukir was hit by a torpedo first and rolled over within half an hour of the attack. HMS Hogue was picking up survivors when she was hit by two torpedoes, sinking within 10 minutes. HMS Cressy had stopped to pick up survivors, but got underway, before she was hit by a torpedo and damaged. Shortly afterwards, a second torpedo hit her and she sank within 15 minutes. 837 men were rescued but 1459 men were killed in total

JENNINGS

Harry Clarence

Lieutenant, Royal Navy, HM Submarine L55. Died 09/06/1919. Age 29. Son of Mr and Mrs Clement Heely Jennings of 78 Romford Road, Stratford, London. husband of Olive Jennings, of Orwell House, Felixstowe. Buried at Haslar Royal Navy Cemetery. Whilst in action against two Bolshevic Destroyers, the submarine L55 struck a mine previously moored by the British. The Russians claimed that they had sunk the submarine but this is thought to be unlikely. They did not, however, forget about where the sub was, because in 1928 they succeeded in raising it. The British government immediately requested that the bodies of the men be returned to Britain, and because the Russians refused to allow any British warship into their waters the merchant ship Truro took the coffins of the men on board at Kronstadt before transferring them to HMS Champion at Reval in Estonia. The 42 officers and men of HM Submarine "L.55" now lie together in a collective grave in the Haslar Royal Navy Cemetery where their names appear on a Screen Wall Memorial. As the bodies were not recovered from the wreck until 1928 they were assumed to have had no known grave at the time the Naval Memorials were erected at Portsmouth, Plymouth and Chatham. As a consequence their names appear on these memorials (21 at Portsmouth, 5 at Plymouth and 16 at Chatham) making them among the only ones to be so commemorated whilst having known graves. Lieutenant Jennings (2nd in command L55) is also commemorated on a special memorial in Portsmouth Cathedral erected in 2005 to commemorate those lost as a result of action by British Naval forces in the Baltic, following the Great War, in support of the independent state of Estonia, in the face of a growing threat from the Russians
