Dear Sirs,

since several years i have a pocket Watch,
that is stamped inside with following initials:

W. Diprose

BXBG. I.I.

incl. this military ARROW and an "A" on its backside.

found also a clockmakers inspection engravieng of: 07.04.43

Some colletors told me the this is a brit. submarine pocketwatch.

I have reseached here in german forums and via some organisations that I know (I help to find missing soldiers of WWII in our area in front of the Hürtgen-Forest and am a board member of our history club) but could not find out something.

Questions of course:

" BXBG. I.I."
what it is standing for

and/or if theres any chance to get some informaition about
" W. Diprose " on what type of submarine he was.

I would be really thankful if you could help me in this matter.

Thank you in advance for the convienence that this may cause

With Best regards

Will
