| HMS Sahib (Lt John Henry Bromage DSO DSC) was lost on 24th April 1943. After making a successful attack on an escorted Italian Convo. The Submarine was damaged in a depth charge attack by the escorting Italian Corvettes Gabbiano (Lt Nilo Foresi) and Euterpe (Lt Antonio March). Lt Bromage surfaced HMS Sahib, which was badly damaged, and attempted to run on the surface. Owing to the damage to the Submarine the crew were forced to abandon ship. It is reported that German aircraft machine gunned the survivors in the water killing one of the crew. The six Officers and the forty surviving crew members were taken Prisoner of War. Of the forty, twenty-three made escape attempts and twelve made successful 'Home Runs'. There was only one casualty in the sinking. | |
