Bender related how his ship once
narrowly escaped destruction by a
large German sub after running
fight lasting two hours. The Ger
man sub was five miles away when
the attack began, using her AZ guns
stationed fore and aft Bender was at
the wheel during the fight and was
showered with splinters from num-

A torpedo boat finally hove into sight
and drove the sub off before she could
draw near enough to infict serious
damage.
Although he has been in the War
Zone three years, Bender is anxious
to return as soon as possible aboard

George Bender, a Louisville man,

Benders story of his adventures
since leaving Louisville in 1914 was a
continuous succession of thrills. He
has made hundreds of trips across the
English channel carrying troops to
France and engaged in scores of
fights with German submarines.
Several times according to the
young seaman he saw passenger ships
torpedoed near his own ship and was
forced to witness women and children
go down without aid and because of
