| 14 December 1939
The German escort F.9 torpedoed by the RN submarine Ursula off Heligoland. Ursula was firing at the cruiser Leipzig which with the Nurnberg, had been damaged the previous day by the RN submarine Salmon - F.9 was unlucky to cross the torpedo tracks.

On weald of Kent I watched once more
Again I heard that grumbling roar
Of fighter planes; yet none were near
And all around the sky was clear
Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by
