Hello James,

the BIRCHGROVE in fact was the steamer which had an gunfight with U 66, it was after U 66 damaged steamer GURRE with an torpedo, but before U 66 finished off the GURRE with an other torpedo. Than LIVINGSTONE was captured.

The HOLTHE, stopped in the evenig that same day, was an norwegian Barque of 1428 tons from Larvik, going to Danmark with her cargo of oilcake.

This information kindly given to me by Wolfgang Göthling
