Able
Seaman 218963, Royal Navy. HMS Aboukir. Died 22/09/1914. Age 29.
Son of George Leek of Blaxhall. Native of Snape. Commemorated on
the Chatham Naval Memorial.
HMS
Aboukir, an old 1st Class armoured cruiser, was part of Cruiser
Force C, in the area of the North Sea known as the Broad Fourteens
(HMS Eurylus, HMS Cressy and HMS Hogue were the other three cruisers).
HMS Eurylus had technical problems and returned to port. Early on
September 22nd 1914 the German submarine U9 under the command of
Commander Otto Weddigen sighted the Cressy, Aboukir and Hogue steaming
NNE at 10 knots without zigzagging. Although the patrols were supposed
to maintain 12-13 knots and zigzag the old cruisers were unable
to maintain that speed and the zigzagging order was widely ignored
as there had been no submarines sighted in the area during the war.
HMS Aboukir was hit by a torpedo first and rolled over within half
an hour of the attack. HMS Hogue was picking up survivors when she
was hit by two torpedoes, sinking within 10 minutes. HMS Cressy
had stopped to pick up survivors, but got underway, before she was
hit by a torpedo and damaged. Shortly afterwards, a second torpedo
hit her and she sank within 15 minutes. 837 men were rescued but
1459 men were killed in total |
