proof that the Sussex was torpedoed

According 10 the French oficial
report the Sussex was south OF

red The German note says the
vessel attacked vas south OF Dunge-
ness buoys and about In mid-channel
when she was torpedoed.
The Sussex was steaming al about

says the vessel torpedoed was
steaming at about IS knots.
The entire forward part OF the
Sussex was torn away by the ex.
plosion. The German note says the

No torpedo was seen by any per.
