- Summary
- [SUBTITLE]: "A chapter of Britain’s naval history that will live through all time. The Mole in 1914. "The Mole to-day, showing how the British Navy had made of the Hun defences a veritable hell on earth". "The mailbox Brussels, commanded by the Captain Fryatt who was murdered by the Huns, lies sunk off the Mole. It was on April 22-23, 1918, that our small forces with unsurpassed bravery attacked this nest of U-boats. The complete success of the blockade is patent from the positions of the Iphigenia and Intrepid across the channel". "A British submarine tore through the Mole and destroyed strong enemy defences". "The White Ensign flutters on the gallant Thetis". "Some of the bravest of the brave who came back"."
