Submarine E15

[roymck]

Looking for info on an incident that happened on Submarine E15 on 28 November 1914. George Joseph Morris died, not I think from enemy action but from being left on deck when the Submarine dived.
I suppose the best place  to start was the Submarine museum at Gosport but they do not have the function to research. He is on the memorial wall at the museum though.
Plenty of History on submarine E15 is available on line as crew died when it was at Gallipoli but nothing about my GG Uncle .
I would just like to find out the circumstances and location of his death, why was he on deck when the Sub dived, if indeed if that’s what really happened.
Thanks Roy

Thanks for that, seen that a few years ago but again just a brief mention of Morris . Nothing on how and where the sub was when he died .

It seems to me that you need to track down the diary of Telegraphist Alfred Edward May O/N J9748. Since he included the details about grounding of the boat and the subsequent death of the captain, he may well have also recorded the details about how your unfortunate great great uncle died.
I would start by asking the Imperial War Museum if they have a copy of the diary.

Thanks for the info , will make some enquiries about a Diary . Interesting again on the Msubs web page he’s been left off the roll of honour for that Sub.
