  • School Resource Key Characters
    School resource Key Characters Carl Hans Lody was a Junior Lieutenant in the German Naval Reserve. Despite having limited training in espionage he was sent to spy in Britain and Ireland during the First World War. Before the war, Lody had been married to an American and spoke fluent English. He travelled using an American passport in the name of Charles A. Inglis to avoid detection. Lody was originally given the task of reporting from southern France, but was sent to Britain in August 1914 and tasked with reporting on the activity of naval bases in the Edinburgh-Leith area. Carl Hans Lody Lody’s only means of communication with his superiors in Germany was by 1877 - 1914 telegrams and letters to neutral countries. He sent a number of telegrams using a simple code, but was finally arrested on 2 October 1914 when one of his uncoded messages was intercepted by postal censors. On his person officials found 705 Norwegian kroner, £14 in German gold, a notebook containing lists of ships sunk in the North Sea and a hollowed out book containing pills. Lody was taken to London where he was put on trial for war treason and sentenced to death by firing squad. On the day before his execution Lody wrote two letters, one to his guards at the Tower, thanking them for their kindness, and the other to his family informing them of his death. Judge Kenneth Judge Kenneth Marshall was a member of the Judge Advocate General Marshall responsible for Army and RAF courts martial. Judge Advocates were civilian lawyers employed by the War Office to advise at courts martial.

Lody hailed from a family of soldiers and civil servants. As a child, Lody wished to become a seafarer, so he moved to Hamburg and became a cabin boy. In 1904, he graduated from a maritime academy in Geestemünde, passing the exams to become a captain with flying colors. He had been a personal acquaintance of the first director of German Naval Intelligence, Added by: geoffrey gillon Commander Fritz Prieger, and in May 1914 he volunteered for service with the department. Becoming seriously ill soon thereafter, he was unable to actually become a captain, so he became a tourist guide for Hapag instead. After a state of imminent threat of war was declared in Germany on July 31, 1914, Lody volunteered as an Oberleutnant zur See, offering to go to the United Kingdom in order to report on the movements of the British fleet. At first he was turned down. He then obtained an American passport from the US consulate under the name Charles A. Inglis by claiming he had lost his old one. He was facilitated by the fact that he spoke English perfectly with an American accent, having been married to an American woman and lived in Omaha, Nebraska.

  • South Queensferry Throughout the Great War the Scotsman Printed
    South Queensferry Throughout the Great War The Scotsman printed many and varied stories of events that included references to South Queensferry, the Forth Bridge, and the Firth of Forth. Some of these are repeated here. The Scotsman - Saturday 1 August 1914 South Queensferry. Girl drowned. A girl was observed to disappear on Thursday afternoon in one of the reservoirs originally used in connection with the water supply of South Queensferry. On information being lodged with the local police, dragging operations were carried out, and eventually the body of Mary Airlie, seventeen years of age, who resided at Dalmeny Rows, and who had been until recently in domestic service in the neighbourhood, was recovered. The Scotsman - Monday 3 August 1914 The Firth of Forth under supervision. Important regulations for Merchantmen. Important public traffic regulations concerning the Firth of Forth have been issued in the public safety by order of the Commander-in-Chief, The Nore, whose representative here to see that they are carried out is the official known as "The King's Harbourmaster", Rosyth. Full details will be seen in an advertisement on the front page of The Scotsman. They amount in the main to this, that all mercantile traffic, including small craft, is forbidden to leave or enter the Firth of Forth during the hours of "official night" or during thick or foggy weather. Official night extends from some minutes after the almanac hour of sunset and some minutes before the almanac hour of sunrise. Examining stations, at which armed examination steamers will be stationed, have been instituted both on the east and west side of Inchkeith, and during the day no merchant vessels will be allowed to proceed up the Firth without first proceeding to these examination stations for examination.
