Hallo Nantes,

well, crew lists for the vessels above? I don't know.

Looks like you already have the service records for Robert V. Mack? If not, look here:

[www.nationalarchives.gov.uk]*

I can help you a little bit with the british submarines, of course:

Robert V. Mack was 1st Lieutenant on C 13 from March to August 1918. That boat belonged to the XI. Flotilla at Blyth, used for local defence.

Lt. Mack was replaced by Sub-Lieutenant Kidston on 23.08.1918.

Than he went over to submarine G 2 of the same Flotilla, taking part in three patrols in the North Sea until the war ceased.

But during that short timespan he was present when the german U 78 was sunk by G 2 on 27.10.1918 - what should be the reason for him to receive the D.S.C.

See here for U 78:
[www.uboat.net]

I have no details of his service on the ex-german U 86, but he was commanding officer (C.O.) of the ex-german U 126 for some time.

According to U 126's logbook for March 1920 he was C.O., but I haven't checked all of U 126's logbooks yet.

All of her surviving logbooks from TNA:
[www.nationalarchives.gov.uk]

So, if you have anything on Lt. Mack's service on U 86 (dates?) that would be very welcome!

Oliver
