kin47 Posted 22 July , 2009 Share Posted 22 July , 2009 Hello In all printed accounts of the loss of submarine B 6 on 28 June 1918, all of the crew is reported killed. This discounts Commanding Officer BROOKS and First LT Bell surviving and being picked up by the German submarine. Were any other crewmen rescued? Thank you. don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrecktec Posted 23 July , 2009 Share Posted 23 July , 2009 Colin Volume 3 (Wales & the West) will be out later this year, but Volume 4 (Scotland) is not out for at least another year, unless the publisher ('The History Press' now) has a change of mind or is short of work; and we hope that is the case.
