Distinguished Service Medal GV, 1915 Star Trio (mounted as worn). Star named K.12223 H Brassington D.S.M. STO.1.RN. Pair named K.12223 H
Brassington L.STO RN. and DSM named K.12223 H Brassington STO 1CL HM Submarine E11. DSM L/G 13th Sept 1915 for service in Submarines in the
Sea of Marmora. Born Kentish Town, London. His copied service papers show that he was 'Slightly Wounded HMS Foyle sunk after hitting a mine 15th March
1917', later spending 7 days in the cells for being absent. Short History: The E11 passed through the Dardanelles on the night of 18 May. Surfacing off the town
of Gallipoli, Lieut-Cmdr Martin Nasmith captured a Turkish sailing vessel and lashed it to the conning tower to act as a disguise. However, this ruse failed to
attract any targets, so after several days he abandoned it. Travelling up the Sea of Marmara, he sank a gunboat and several other small craft on 23 May. The
following day, near the port of Rodosto, E11 encountered the Turkish transport Nagara, laden with ammunition. Aboard the transport was
an American journalist Raymond Swing, from the Chicago Daily News. Nasmith sank the ship after it was abandoned by the crew and passengers. Nasmith sank
another transport and forced one aground before being driven away from the shore by some Turkish cavalry. On 25 May 1915 E11 reached Constantinople
/Istanbul. Nasmith was searching for the German warships SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau, when he surfaced at 12:40, he sighted the elderly
transport Stamboul lying alongside the Tophane Arsenal. Nasmith's first torpedo ran in a circle and nearly struck the E11, however the second torpedo hit
Stamboul. Under fire from shore-based artillery, E11 dived to make her escape. Caught in the strong Bosphorus current, E11 was out of control for 20 minutes
until she settled on the bottom near the Maiden's Tower. Stamboul failed to sink, but was beached at Harem. E11's attack on Constantinople, the first by an
enemy vessel in 100 years, had an enormous impact on Turkish morale, causing a panic in the city and compelling Goeben to shift to a safer mooring.
E11 returned to the Bosphorus approaches on 27 May and sank more ships, but running short of torpedoes and with mounting mechanical problems, Nasmith
headed home on 5 June. On his return passage through the Dardanelles he encountered another transport which, despite his vulnerable position and the poor
state of the submarine, he attacked and sank with his final two torpedoes. Passing through the Narrows near Çanakkale, E11 snagged a moored mine. Nasmith
had to tow the mine out of the straits before he was able to disentangle the submarine. On E11's first tour, eleven ships were sunk or disabled. For this successful
tour Nasmith was awarded the Victoria Cross, the third submarine commander to receive the award during the Dardanelles Campaign. E11 was on her second
tour when, on 6 August it successfully torpedoed the Turkish torpedo cruiser Peyk-i Sevket. Two days later 8th August 1915 as a new British landing was
underway at Suvla, E11 torpedoed the antiquated Turkish pre-dreadnought battleship Barbaros Hayreddin off Bulair at the northern entrance to the Dardanelles.
The ship sank with the loss of 21 officers and 237 men. Barbaros Hayreddin was one of two Ottoman battleships sunk during the campaign. Visiting
Constantinople again, E11 sank a Black Sea collier as it was preparing to unload — a significant blow as coal was the main fuel source and supplies were scarce.
Moving into the Gulf of Izmir, on the night of 20th August, E11's first officer, Lieutenant Guy D'Oyly-Hughes, swam ashore and blew up a section of the
Constantinople–Baghdad railway line, a feat for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Navigating Officer Lieutenant Robert Brown was also
awarded the Distinguished Service Order. A reservist from the Merchant Navy, Brown had famously been born rounding the Cape Horn on the SS John
Gambles, the sister ship to the more famous Cutty Sark. E11 made three tours of the Sea of Marmara and sank in total 27 steamers and 58 smaller vessels. With
