Description
Group portrait of unidentified crew members from HMAS Swan on board the German submarine U 126 at the dockyard in southern England. Commissioned on 7 October 1918, U 126 appeared too late in the First World War to make any patrols, and surrendered on 22 November 1918. She was a class UEII long range submarine minelayer, carrying 32 mines in two tubes; she also carried a 3.4 inch or 4.1 inch gun and had two 20 inch torpedo tubes. She had a complement of 32-39 men. The German submarines were divided among the Allied navies after the First World War for investigation and testing; the Treaty of Versailles prohibited Germany from building more submarines or maintaining any in service. See EN0322.
