| Stonehenge sailed from Trincomalee in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) on 25th February 1944 for her second patrol in the Far East in the area between Northern Sumatra and the Nicobar Islands. The Submarine was reported overdue on 20th March 1944 when she failed to return to Trincomalee. The cause of loss is unknown but the Submarine was declared as ‘lost with all hands’, probably in the Malacca Straits on (or about) 16th March 1944 | |
HMS Tally Ho, captained by Commander L.W.A. Bennington was a T-class submarine which achieved spectacular success in the Second World War. Her name was chosen for her by Winston Churchill and it proved a very suitable one for a hunting submarine. In a single commission, lasting from 15th March 1943 to 26th February 1945, she operated in the Malacca Strait.
Here, surrounded by enemy air bases and in badly charted shallow waters, so shallow that many experts considered them unsuitable for submarine operations, she took a heavy toll of enemy warships and supply vessels. The boat, her captain and her crew are all vividly portrayed in this exciting chronicle which is the fruit of wide and detailed research.
