| Unit / Ship / Est.: HM Submarine H10 |
HMS H10 was a British H-class submarine built by the Canadian Vickers Co., Montreal. She was laid down on an unknown date and was commissioned in June 1915. |
| Action : HM Submarine E10, Sinking of |
HMS H10 was lost in the North Sea on 19 January 1918. It had a complement of twenty-two crew members. It failed to return from patrol on 19/1/1918. Oliver Loerscher has looked into this one as part of efforts to identify some recently discovered British submarine wrecks. H 10 sailed on 6th January 1918 to cruise to the NW of Vlieland (between 53 50' N-54 00' N and 03 45'E-04 00'E). She was expected back about noon 14th January 1918. H 10's patrol area was not heavily mined, and loss to a mine there must be considered unlikely though not impossible.
Detail :
He was promoted to WO/Gunner and posted to Portsmouth, but his promotion letter arrived too late and he instead sailed on H10’s last fatal voyage from which she never returned, being lost with all hands in the North Sea of the East Anglian coast.
A detailed biography exists in the book "Antiques Roadshow: World War One in 100 Family Treasures".
