| Notes | Waistcoat, part of naval uniform of Lieutenant Commander William Edward Sanders, Royal Naval Reserve William Edward Sanders was born in Auckland. He was commissioned as Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserves in April 1916. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander, given command of a patrol vessel, and saw much anti-submarine service. He was awarded the VC (Victoria Cross) in May 1917, the DSO. (Distinguished Service Order) in June 1917, and was killed in action on 14 August 1917. Son of Edward Helman Cooke Sanders and Emma Jane Sanders, of Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Born in Auckland, William Edward Sanders initially went to sea on coastal ships around New Zealand. When war broke out he went to England and joined the Royal Naval Reserve as a Sub-Lieutenant in April 1916. He served on "Q-ships" which looked like inoffensive sailing vessels but were heavily armed with hidden guns. Their task was to lure German submarines to the surface. On 12 February 1917 , Sanders commanded HMS "Prize", which in a successful action in April 1917 destroyed a German Submarine. After the battle he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and awarded the Victoria Cross. Two months later he was involved in another action for which he won a DSO (Distinguished Service Order). On August 14, 1917 the "Prize" was torpedoed and sunk by a German Submarine (U-boat 48). All were lost. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
