My grandfather, Robert Philip Allen was the telegraphist on HMS Inconstant during this action. He said it was only by the grace of God and Captain Bertram S. Thesiger that they all came home safely. He left the Royal Navy after WW1 and joined the Merchant Marine. In WW2 he was a radio officer on the Atlantic convoys.
