This unique grouping issue for bravery, skill and determination when HMS Lulworth rammed an sank the Italian submarine Pietro Calvi. HMS Lulworth was on escort duty south of the Azores when she encountered enemy submarines. The ship carried out depth charge attacks forcing the Italian submarine to the surface. HM Lulworth carried out two attempts to ram the submarine. A boarding party from HMS Lulworth led by Lieutenant Fredrick North were hampered by fire. The Italian crew abandoned the vessel as it capsized. Frederick was unable to escape and lost his life. He received a posthumous mention in despatches in the same gazette as Hodgman’s DSM. There was only nine DSMs awarded for this action. A fine gallantry grouping. ]]> http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/british-royal-naval-distinguished-medal-group-of-six-item-117588/feed/ 0 http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/third-reich-naval-captains-peaked-cap-item-117455/ http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/third-reich-naval-captains-peaked-cap-item-117455/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:58:23 +0000 Robert Tredwen http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/?p=58455 Excellent example blue wool Third Reich Captains peaked cap Large blue flannel top (typical to Naval caps).
