Freddy,
UB 82 was sunk on April 17, 1918 by HMDs PILOT ME and YOUNG FRED. This sinking is not in dispute;the wreck of UB 82 has been dived.
The ALFRED EDITH action was on April 27, 1918 at 51°50'N, 11°39' and was classified by the Royal Navy as submarine "possibly slightly damaged." U-boat opened fire, trawler responded, U-boat dived. Trawler claimed hits and sinking, but no missing U-boats at that time. I'll see if I can find a match.
Best wishes,
Michael
