HMS E41
HMS E41 was a British E class submarine built by Cammell Laird, Birkenhead. She was laid down on 26 July 1915 and was commissioned in February 1916.
Service history
HMS E41 collided with E4 on the surface during exercises off Harwich on 15 August 1916. Sixteen crewmembers were lost, but fifteen escaped including seven from the bottom. Six crewmembers trapped in the submarine as she sank were able to escape by waiting under the conning-tower until the air pressure building up as the submarine sank blew the hatch open and allowed them to float to the surface. Chief Petty Officer William Brown was left behind, but was eventually able to escape from the engine room after an hour and a half in the sunken submarine.
HMS E41 was raised in September 1917 and was recommissioned. She was sold in Newcastle on 6 September 1922.

A Novel Of War
by: Miss May IThey fight and it never seems like it ends.
"Are you too busytonight?"
When all of your children cry,
"Oh God, when will it end!?"
Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.
Justifybelief in a God that's left you behind,
But we're still hoping tonight
That our prayers and our wishes,
Find a way through their hearts.
Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.
All of this time their burning down bridges.
All of this time warsfought from religions.
All of this time spent burning the witches.
All of this time they're fighting for riches.
All of this time theirbreaking the stitches
All of this time their dying in ditches.
