Re: British minefields and u-boats

Hello again Michael

I have just emailed to you a photo of p. 513 from the appendix of Captain Lockhart Leith, The History of British Minefields 1914-1918 (Admiralty private use, 1920, charts added 1932 - but missing, Royal Naval Historical Library, 'Naval Dockyard, Portsmouth). This page includes a reference to U 102 under German vessels sunk by British of American mines in the Northern Barrage'. I did not copy any other material on U 102 because I was concentrating on minefields further south. It is quite likely that there is supporting text, but I do not know so.

Many of the RN Libraries are closing down shortly for refurbishment and consolidation. They plan to be closed for over a year so I will not be going again, if at all, to check for you for some considerable time. There were supposedly only three copies made; I do not know where others might be.

You might contact either Jenny Wraight or Kate Bratt at the library to see if, considering you are in Berlin, they might do you a favour and check the document. 0044 2392 725 187.

Best wishes
Chris
