Thank you Sadsac, the information is really appreciated. I have added a couple of photos sadly due to the sub model being in a sealed glass fronted case there is a lot of background picked up however you can still see it and I will try and find a way to get some better pictures

Hi there.

Does anyone have further information on MARTIN GLEESON who was a casualty on the L10?

He was on L10 Maidstone from 1 July 1918 until 4 October 1918. I have a copy of his service history and a copy of a letter written by him dated 30 August 1918 in which he referred to "his wife and child".

Martin was the brother of my GreatGrandmother, Elizabeth Gleeson and I would like to track down his descendants, if any.

Thanks

Hi

I can assist you with some information of Martin Gleeson's descendants as I went to school with one of his great granddaughters in South Africa.

Regards

Hi everyone that has posted on this thread about the men who served in L10.

I have just finished helping edit a book about men with connections to the Market Harborough, Leicestershire, area, one of whom is Harold Lindsay Smith, who lost his life on L10.

As part of the above project, I have been commemorating these Harborough men on the "Lives of the First World War" (LOTFWW) website. Whilst looking for more information on H L Smith I found this thread and got a bit sidetracked as you had all provided such a wealth of excellent and interesting information.

Therefore, I started a new community on LOTFWW for L10, which can be found here - https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/community/3138

I haven't completed much information yet, but just linked as many of the 39 men as I could find.

Would those of you that have shared photos and documents mind if I upload them to LOTFWW to illustrate the relevant men's life stories? If there are any more photos available of the submarine or the men who served in her, I would be most pleased to hear from you.

Thanking you all in advance,

Liz

Hi Maxlyn,

My name is Paul Meehan.

I posted this enquiry under the username Buckeye and I live in Otago, New Zealand..

I have only just revisited this site and found your post.

I am very intrigued to learn that Martins descendants have ended up in South Africa.

I came to a brick wall after Martins death.

Here is a link to him on my website;

I would love to hear from you,

Best Regards,

Paul Meehan.

Hi

I'm new to this forum and wondered if this topic was still live as I am interested in any information about my relative Philip H Charlton, L/Stoker K10429 who lost his life on submarine L10.

Thanks

Hi there, my name is Leonard Fox, and Edward James Pulman was my maternal uncle. I have added a new photo of him with his brother George and his sister (my mother) Ida May. I am in touch with the family of Edwards brother George who stil reside in England. My mother married an American Sargent Major and moved to Hollywood California to be married as a war bride. And later they settled to Alberta in Canada where a vast majority of the family still resides. Would love to connect further.

Hallo Len,

 

Great photo! Jo hasn't been here for a few years so it may be with sending her a private message - click on the link to her name, and there should be a tab with an envelope on the resulting display.

 

Good luck!

seaJane, thank you so much for the suggestion. It appears since Jo signed in as a guest that the email option is not available (as far as I can figure). Do you know if there's any other way to contact them through the site? Or if there's a way to see if they've left any more info anywhere? Thank you again.

No, no idea as far as the forum goes, sorry.

 

I suppose you could look for Edward Pulman on Ancestry or FindMyPast and see if any family tree poster looks like her. Public libraries often have a subscription that member's of the public can use.

It seems the HMS L10 had been found yesterday by the Santi team looking for the Polish submarine 'Orzel' (Eagle). There's a tweet here: https://twitter.com/PiotrMichalik_/status/1235641001827540992?s=19
