CHURCHYARD GATE & WAR MEMORIAL

West Sussex - England

St Mary's Church in the tiny, isolated hamlet of Sullington.
Across the lane is the separate, current graveyard. The inscription on the war memorial is as follows:
ERECTED IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THESE MEN WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 18 BY THOSE THEY DIED TO SAVE
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE MEN

PRIVATE ERNEST KNOWLES R. SUSSEX REGT.
DRIVER EDGAR TOWSE R.F.A.

The submarine was an E class mine layer built at Barrow in Furness. She was launched on 9th January 1916. On 21st March 1916 she sailed from Harwich on a mine laying mission but was posted as missing at sea just 3 days later, with both crew and submarine lost without trace.
