HMS Amphion Report ?

[Hyacinth1326]

Hello

 

Can anyone tell me whether an enquiry report has survived concerning the 6.8.14 encounter.  A preliminary search at Kew suggests that it has not.  Someone on this site is bound to know.  I would be interested in any report or log which might shed detailed light on this affair but I was hoping to go beyond the logs of the escorting destroyers to Amphion herself

 

Kind regards

Thank you Horatio.  This is a wonderful Forum filled with people whose kindness is equalled only by their expertise.

This interests me too Hyacinth1326 as my relative Staff paymaster Gedge went down on the Amphion

Very interesting, particularly as I have recently found a family connection to Walter Edgcombe, stoker second class, who died in the mining of Amphion.  His daughter Ruby Edith Lydia Edgcombe, 2 years old at the time of the sinking, married my distant cousin, George Laidler Snowball.

Has anyone obtained a copy of the report? I would be interested to know if it lists the German crew members captured from the ship laying the mines.
