Guest Rick Research Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 The autograph of Captain Fryatt's future killer!!! EK2 "white black" is signed by Ernst TRESP, born 1888, Marine Intendantursekret?r 25.7.18, Station Wilhelmshaven. Recipient of a "black" EK2 and was a Marine OBER-Intendantursekret?r in 1928.Ernst Vogelsang was born in 1875 and shows as a "Lt dR" in the Beamten section of the Naval Honor Rank List. But that is either in error or was a "Nominal Status Improver" since the 1914 Navy Rank List shows that he was indeed the very Matrosenartillerie Leutnant dSW Glenn found (LD2) and in the 1918 Navy Rank List shows him with yon EK2w and LD2.Vogelsang was an Abteilungs Vorstand of the Verwaltungsressort, Werft Wilhelmshaven in 1914.
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 The autograph of Captain Fryatt's future killer!!! Me be a peasant mon... explain that to me... I am in the dark.......
Guest Rick Research Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Captain Fryatt sank an attacking U-boat when "cruiser rules" were still in effect. The British, of course, armed merchantmen and ordered them to fire on submarines, which made the gentlemanly code of shouting to please heave to and be boarded suicidal. Fryatt ran over the sub, and was much praised in the press for sinking it.That was, of course, illegal under the established rules guaranteeing merchant vessels would NOT be attacked without warning or proivision for the crews if they cooperated.So when Fryatt the publicity hog subsequently fell into German hands, he was tried by German court martial and shot, by order of Admiral Schr?der.In its day Fryatt's case was as famous as Nurse Clavell's. The fact that both were "righteous busts" got lost in the outcome of the war.
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 Ahhh, OK.I heard of the incident, did not know the name though.BestChris
