  • Reuben Mitchell DSM, RAN – Survivor of HMS E14
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 55 Call the Hands Issue No. 31 June 2019 Reuben Mitchell DSM, RAN – Survivor of HMS E14 The following story is of an Australian Able Seaman whom some military historians believe should have been awarded the Victoria Cross for his courage and compassion while under enemy fire from Turkish guns in the Dardanelles during World War I. The most senior survivor was Petty Officer Coxswain Robert Perkins, DSM who wrote in a report, ‘Reuben Mitchell acted most gallantly. He was on the conning tower with three officers, passing orders below to the helmsman. All the officers were swept off the bridge by shellfire and he was left all alone. Although the enemy had the exact range and he was clearly visible, he stuck to his post and took charge of the boat until it sank. When in the water, he then rescued the wireless operator who was unconscious from head wounds. There was no senior officer left to recommend him for his outstanding gallantry, and his only reward was the self-evident fact that he had done his duty.’ Reuben Joseph Edward Mitchell was born in Ballarat, Victoria on 28 July, 1894. Having joined the Royal Navy based on the Australian Station, he served on several ships before joining HMS Challenger and sailing to England on the ship’s return in 1913. It was while at Portsmouth that he volunteered for submarines and on completion of his training at HMS Dolphin based on Fort Blockhouse, and at HMS Vernon, which included training in HM Submarines A6, A13 and E4, he joined HMAS AE2 to return to Australia as an Able Seaman.

  • P5904d-5905A Hon Phil Edman [1] HMAS
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Thursday, 13 August 2009] p5904d-5905a Hon Phil Edman HMAS AE2 — Adjournment Debate HON PHIL EDMAN (South Metropolitan) [5.06 pm]: Tonight I stand to speak on an important part of Australia’s military history, the story of HMAS AE2, the actions of which in Australia’s Gallipoli campaign showed for the first time the potential of submarines to contribute to Australia’s war-fighting capacity. Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge some honourable guests sitting in the President’s gallery, as you have already done, Mr President—namely, the Western Australian Consul General for Turkey, Dr Cahit Yesertener; Commander of the Australian Submarine Forces, Commodore Steve Davies; executive officer of HMAS Stirling, Commander Angela Bond; the President of the Turkish Association of Western Australia, Seyit Kaplan; and the President of the Submarine Institute of Australia, Commodore Mike Deeks. I also acknowledge the only submariner ever elected to any Australian Parliament, Mr Joe Francis, MLA, member for Jandakot. As a young Australian who has never fought to protect our country and her people, it is a great privilege to speak today on the role of the AE2 in the first world war. I add that it was also a great privilege as an MLC for the South Metropolitan Region to have represented the Minister for Culture and the Arts, Hon John Day, MLA, on 5 June this year in the unveiling of a plaque on the story of the AE2. Also present were Admiral Peter Briggs, chair of the AE2 Commemorative Foundation; Dr Cahit Yesertener, the Perth Consul General for Turkey; and Dr Ian MacLeod, executive director of the Western Australian Museum.

  • Brief History of the Royal Australian Navy During World War I
    Brief history of the Royal Australian Navy during World War I When the Australian Government declared war on Germany on 4th August 1914, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Fleet comprised of one battle-cruiser, six light cruisers, six destroyers, two submarines and numerous support and ancillary craft. The total number of personnel serving in the Permanent Naval Forces was 3,800 (all ranks). The Reserves provided a further 76 officers and 2,380 sailors for home service, and 51 officers and 1,775 sailors for service overseas. The ships and men of the RAN operated as an integral part of the Royal Navy and served in all naval operational areas in World War I. The Royal Australian Navy's first task was to protect Australia's ports, shipping and trade routes. The first wartime operation for the RAN took place on the night of 11th August 1914, when the three black-painted destroyers HMAS Warrego, HMAS Yarra and HMAS Parramatta swept into Simpson Harbour in German New Guinea with orders to torpedo any German warships they discovered. The harbour was found to be empty. On 12th August 1914, HMAS Encounter (old light cruiser) intercepted and captured the steamer Zambezi, an ex-British vessel under German control in New Guinea waters and was the RAN's first wartime prize The light cruiser HMAS Encounter capturing Zambezi in August 1914. Painting by Phil Belbin (Naval Heritage Collection) As part of securing Australia's maritime frontiers, the RAN took part in the first amphibious assault of the war when it played a major role in the capture of the German colonies in the Pacific.

  • The Australian Submarine HMAS AE2 Gallipoli Commemorative Trust
    The Australian Submarine HMAS AE2 Gallipoli Commemorative Trust Brief for Potential Sponsors or Service Providers Preservation of the Australian Submarine HMAS AE2 and appropriate recognition of the role she and her crew played in the Gallipoli Campaign The Opportunity To assist in the preservation of the Australian World War I submarine HMAS AE2 and to recognize the hitherto unsung heroism of her crew for their exploits in the Dardanelles campaign in 1915. The deeds of the Australian soldiers who fought at Gallipoli have become legend, but the extraordinary story of the Australian sailors who also fought, has yet to be told. The Crew of HMA Submarine AE2 Australian War Memorial Negative Number P00371.001 1 Project AE2 - Submarine Institute of Australia - Brief for Potential Sponsors or Service Providers Background The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-16 is generally associated with the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula by Allied forces including Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), in an effort to knock Ottoman Turkey out of the war. The invasion was the beginning of seven months of costly land battles, ending with the evacuation of Allied forces. However, another campaign was fought beneath the waters surrounding the Gallipoli Peninsula, one in which honors for both sides were even, with victories and disasters for both Allied and Ottoman forces. The AE2 Story In the early hours of 25 April 1915, AE 2 entered the Dardanelles, on the surface. Her mission was to create a diversion to the landings by ‘running amok in the Narrows’ and then enter the Turkish inland Sea of Marmara to cut the supply lines of the Ottoman army.

  • Corrosion and Conservation Management of the Submarine HMAS AE2 (1915) in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey
    heritage Article Corrosion and Conservation Management of the Submarine HMAS AE2 (1915) in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey Ian D. MacLeod Western Australian Maritime Museum, Victoria Quay Drive, Fremantle, WA 6160, Australia; [email protected] Received: 12 February 2019; Accepted: 5 March 2019; Published: 14 March 2019 Abstract: The wreck site of the Australian First World War submarine HMAS AE2 in the Sea of Marmara had a salinity of 26‰ (parts per thousand) for the first 13 m, which increased to 41‰ at 21 m, after which it remained constant to the bottom at 72 m, where the dissolved oxygen was three parts per million. The vessel is protected by a very dense anaerobic concretion and lies half above a silt mound. Cross-sections of a concretion sample revealed the original surface, associated paint films and a series of burial-exposure episodes that reflected periodic changes in the silt levels, which are likely associated with major storms. Core samples of sediment have established the impact of the vessel on the site. Corrosion simulation experiments have established the direct linkage between chloride levels underneath the concretion layer and the pH of the entrapped solution. Following the initial drop camera survey, an ROV (Remote Observation Vehicle) examination of the interior of the boat showed a remarkable degree of preservation. A network of ten-tonnes of zinc anodes were distributed at the stern, amidships and the bow to bring about in-situ conservation of the historic submarine. Keywords: AE2 submarine; Turkey; First World War; in-situ conservation; sediment cores; corrosion; simulation; sacrificial anodes 1.
