See his statistics on CricInfo Extract from the Stock Exchange Memorial Book: CAPTAIN ERIC FRANK PENN, Grenadier Guards, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Penn, and was born in 1878. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. Captain Penn was a distinguished and versatile sportsman. He played cricket and football for Eton, and he won the School Quarter Mile and two other events. He gained his Blue for cricket in 1899. When the South African war began he went to the front with the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Scots, which he had joined while still at Eton. He was invalided home in 1901 with the rank of Captain. He went back to Cambridge and again played against Oxford at cricket. Later on he played brilliantly for Norfolk County. On leaving the University he went into the City and became a partner in the firm of Sir R. W. Carden and Co, and a member of the Stock Exchange in 1905. On the outbreak of war Captain Penn joined the Norfolk Yeomanry, but in his impatience to get into action transferred to the Grenadier Guards and went to the front with the 4th Battalion as a subaltern. After the battle of Loos he was promoted to Captain and mentioned in despatches for distinguished gallantry in the field. He was killed on 18 October 1915 at the Hohenzollern Redoubt. Captain Penn during his service in the Army gained the same golden reputation as an ideal English gentleman, which he had earned all through his life from his schooldays. A writer in the “Eton Chronicle” said of him: “Prominent in games and with a stainless record, always cheerful and full of grit, he attracted to himself all that was best at Eton. No one could fail to love and honour him for his noble qualities." One of his brother officers wrote: “I can never forget what his example has been to me, and I know that it has helped many along the road." Another wrote “He was an exceptionally fine company commander and his men would have done anything for him." He married, in 1906, Gladys, daughter of Mr. Charles Ebden of Baldstow Place, Sussex, by whom he had one son, born posthumously. |

I at once asked one of the survivors as to the commander, and he told me that he had been on his (the survivor's) raft and seeing that there were too many men on the raft said: ‘There are too many men on the raft, I will swim to another.’ He was never seen again, but his self-sacrificing action was undoubtedly the means of saving others. I would like you to know how deeply I grieve at his loss, and also that you should know that his very last act was one of unselfish bravery." He m. at Canon Ffrome, co.

Williams, was engaged in various operations in the North Sea. On 15 October, out on patrol Hawke was torpedoed by a German submarine U 9. Her sister ship H.M.S. Theseus, which was in company, was attacked at the same time but was undamaged. The Hawke sank in a few minutes, with the loss of her Captain, 26 officers and 500 men - only 4 officers and about 60 men were saved. [Source: Wikipedia - H.M.S. Hawke] |
