THE little-known stories of war are an important part of our ongoing fascination with the two global conflicts of the 20th century. The adventures of an Australian submarine in the Dardanelles on the eve of the Gallipoli campaign is one such story, and in Fred and Elizabeth Brenchleys hands it is a ripping yarn indeed.
The story begins on the morning of April 25, 1915, the day the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli. On that day a debonair, pipe-smoking Irishman, Lieutenant-Commander Dacre Stoker, captained the Australian submarine HMAS AE2 on a mission to breach the treacherous Dardanelles Strait. The objective was to disrupt Turkish supply lines from the rear.
Against the odds, in the face of dangerous currents, complicated minefields and withering enemy fire, Stoker and his men managed to fulfil their kamikaze orders to run amok in the treacherous narrows. After succeeding in passing through the straits, the AE2s exploits included sinking a Turkish cruiser and making life somewhat difficult for other enemy ships. This was something that British and French submarines had been unable to achieve.
