sadsac Posted 4 July , 2014 Share Posted 4 July , 2014 STEVE. Not WW1, but here is a Memorial ( & story) to H49 (Harwich WW11). Suggest you visit the Church at Shotley where there are many graves of RN serving Harwich. MEMORIAL TO H.49 IN SHOTLEY CHURCH, SUFFOLK Over the years I have `banged-on’ about the fact that although all other boats that had left U.K waters and been sunk in those waters had a memorial to the boat. But-not H.M. Submarine H.49. Some 6 years ago I had visited St. Mary’s Church at Shotley, Suffolk and viewed the submariner graves there and wondered at the lack of Memorial to H.49. On return home I contacted the Local (Colchester) Submarine Old Comrades Association, the local Parochial Church Counsel, the Local Councillor, the Vicar of the Church. I informed them of the `anomaly’ and offered to have a plaque put on the wall to the crew of H.49. I also offered to have the wall itself, which was in some disrepair, refurbished. Many weeks past while this was discussed amongst them. Later in the year I attended the ceremony of the Old Comrades commemoration of those lost in the two wars at the monument to those lost in submarines that had departed from Harwich in 1914-18. After the ceremony we all repaired to HMS GANGES where we had a meal together. There I once again put forward the lack of Memorial to H.49 and spoke of my wish to place a plaque in the church in remembrance of the boat. Having some `bumphf’ on GANGES I visited the museum last week and will have to do so again at a further date. Whilst in the area I again visited Shotley Church, with a view perhaps of once again taking up the cudgels regarding getting a Memorial to H.49 – and Surprise, Surprise, there is now a Memorial Plaque to ; In Memory of all Submariners Who Lost their Lives on Active Service Including the Crew of H49 the only Submarine Lost from the Harwich Flotilla in W.W.2 for Whom there is no Local Memorial Presented by the Submariners Association (Colchester & District Branch) So, at last, perhaps through my little efforts, a Memorial has now been `erected’ in the Church. This due in most part to my enthusiasm having been rekindled by the visit to the Texel Island, Holland, with the `Old Boys’ of The Beamont School. So, my grateful thanks to the Submariners Association of Colchester – well done ! Hoped to be able to Post a Pic of the Memorial as displayed in the Church, but cannot find a `link / icon' to be able to do so ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 7 July , 2014 Share Posted 7 July , 2014 Here's the full picture of the memorial, re-sized and uploaded (I hope!) All the best, sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadsac Posted 8 July , 2014 Share Posted 8 July , 2014 Well Done CJane and many thanks for all your help. Wonder what I was doing wrong / not doing ??? The Memorial is on the `South Wall' - inside of the Shotley Church. There is also a Memorial to the Crew Of H.49 on the Island Of Texel, Holland. If it is not `off Post' (as the boat was lost WW11 - therefore not EXACTLY WW1 - although built WW1) I will (try) to Post picture here. Sadsac Thanks again-Jane !!

sadsac Posted 11 July , 2014 Share Posted 11 July , 2014 Thanks Joseph. Again, not quite WW1, but to continue with the H.49 `Memorial Story'. Here is a Memorial to the crew that is in the Aeronautical Museum on the Island of Texel, off which the wreck of HMS/m H.49 lays. Oh Dear - here we / I go again - tried to include picture of Memorial but got `file too large' ???? HELP !!!!!!! Sad Sadsac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 11 July , 2014 Share Posted 11 July , 2014 Hi Dennis Open the file on your PC. Click where it says "Edit pictures" at the top. If you are using the same set-up as I do, the panel on the right will offer a "Resize" option. Keep on shrinking your picture (save it with a slightly different name so as to avoid losing your original-size version) until it shows as being 250 KB or less (hovering your cursor over the icon should tell you). Then you should be able to upload it. If not, send it along sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadsac Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 CJane, being somewhat `thick' I was / am mystified as to which `file' you allude - tried `something', but no `edit pics' appeared, so once again call upon your expertise to import pics to the Forum. Will EMail you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
