Note:
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

JOSEPH DOUGLAS NICHOLAS, M.C.,
Capt., 11th (Service) Battn. The Essex Regt., s. of Edwin
Keys, of Morley House, Southwick, Brighton, by Ills wife, Esther,
dau. of Daniel Brazier ; b. Southwick, co. Sussex, 18
July, 1891 ; educ. York Place, Brighton ; was engaged on the staff
of Mr. Flowers, Solicitor and Clerk to the Steyning Board of Guardians;
was gazetted 2nd Lieut. The Essex Regt. 5 Nov. 1915 ; promoted
Lieut. March, 1917, and Capt. July, 1917 ; served with the Expeditionary
Force in France and Flanders from July, 1916, and was killed in
action at Lens 21 Sept. 1917. Buried at Maroc. Brigadier-General
F. E. Spring wrote : "As your boy served under me for so
long when I was in command of the 11th Essex Regt., may I send
you a line to say how very, very sorry I was to hear he had been
killed, and to send you and his relations my real sympathy. He
had been with the battalion so long, and we all knew hint so well.
He was a fine young officer, always cool and collected, no matter
how bad things were. He was looking so well when I last saw him
-- in fact, if I remember right, he only recently went home on
leave. I am so glad he did," and his Chaplain " I am
so very sorry to tell you that your son, Capt. J. D. N. Keys,
of this battalion, was killed in action yesterday. He was in command
of a company at the time, which was holding a front-line trench,
and was hit by a piece of shell, which burst somewhere near him.
He had been a long time with this battalion, and was one of the
best known and most capable of the officers, and will be greatly
missed ; he was so reliable under all circumstances. His body
was buried by me to-day in a British cemetery behind the lines."
A brother officer also wrote : "Your son and myself have
been working together in the company for nearly a year and when
he was killed he was commanding it, as they were giving me little
rest behind. Your son was one of the bravest men I have come across
and always so cheerful ; the worse things were, his spirits seemed
to go up. He was immensely popular among the men, which I always
think is such a criterion. His place can never be filled in the
company, and I do want you to know that no one has ever died in
a more soldierly way than he did. He was killed instantly, and
consequently did not suffer at all, and is buried in the little
cemetery close behind. I am sorry I cannot tell you the name of
the village, but may be able to later. My thoughts are so much
with you at this time, and I wish I could do anything in any way
to lighten the load. My deepest sympathy and best thoughts at
this time." He was awarded the Military Cross [London Gazette,
24 March, 1917], "for conspicuous gallantry and devotion
to duty. He kept his men under perfect control, and led them to
their objective. Later, he assumed command of the second wave,
and supervised the operations with marked ability." He was
at one time associated with the Boys Brigade work, and was assistant
organist at St. George's Church, Worthing ; unm.
