Lisa..Hello I hope you read this as i have joined this site to give you info on your Great Grandad who died on HMS E30 in 1916...he was returning to Blyth Sub base after a Patrol someone in the Battery Compartment threw a wrong switch and the was an explosion 3 Submariners were killed..sadly your Great grandad was one of the poor souls..all the Crew of E30 put money into a Collection for them to buy a Memorial in their Memory..he is Buried with his Shipmates in Blyth Cemetry Northumberland I usually visit Remebrance Day and put Poppy's or Flowers on the grave as it has always made me curious so i researched it some years ago that's how I know as much about it..I do have a photo of the Headstone if you would like a copy
