Harry Coward was engineer on C.1, one of the two submarines which took part in the raid on Zeebrugge. These photographs show those two vessels in Dover Harbour preparing for the raid. The commander of submarine C.3, Lieutenant Richard Sandford, received the Victoria Cross, one of 8 awarded as a result of the action. He and the crew had manoeuvred C.3 into position under a viaduct and detonated the five tons of amatol secreted in the bows of the submarine, thereby preventing German re-inforcement.
