The failing light was such that observation by periscope could not be relied on but a surface attack would have been easily seen. Upholder's listening gear was out of action. In spite of these severe handicaps, Lieutenant Commander Wanklyn decided to press home his attack at short range and sank the Italian liner Conte Rosso Subsequently, the King was graciously pleased to approve of the grant of the Victoria Cross for great valour and resolution in command of HMS Upholder to Lieutenant Commander Malcolm David Wanklyn, DSO. |
