IN DEPTH
DECEPTION STILL A MYSTERY
The ship that had two captains and the body with two names.
The Royal Navy officer who played a part in the tale of the “Man Who Never Was” believes the mystery has not yet been solved.
Captain Norman Limbury Auchinleck Jewell DSC MBE – then a lieutenant – was commanding officer of HM Submarine Seraph when one of the most effective wartime deceptions was launched, codenamed “Operation Mincemeat”.
Intelligence experts were seeking a way of putting Germany off guard as plans were made for Allied landings in Sicily.
They decided to put a body into the sea carrying “secret” Allied plans, hoping the information would quickly get back to the Germans.
A suitable “drowned man” had to be found and an identity created to reassure the enemy they had been dealt a genuine piece of good luck.
A body was chosen, and the unnamed man in his mid-30s became Royal Marines Captain (Temporary Major) William Martin, and apart from military identification, some well-thumbed love letters, ghost written by an MI5 clerk and a photo of his “fiancée” were placed in his pockets, along with theatre tickets, and letters from his father, his bank manager and a solicitor.
The body was packed in dry ice in a canister and shipped up to Scotland for a rendezvous with Seraph. The submarine released the body into the sea off Huelva, near Gibraltar, early on 30 April 1943.
Chained to the wrist was a brief-case containing fictitious plans for Allied invasions.
The crucial document refused a request for a decoy attack on Sicily for the Greek invasion as it was already decoy for “Operation Brimstone”.
Spanish fishermen spotted the “drowned man” some hours later, the papers were seen by the Germans then passed back to London by the Spanish.
Monitored German Enigma signals confirmed that the papers had been deemed genuine, and “Mincemeat had been swallowed.”
As a consequence, German troops moved from Sicily to Sardinia – and many thousands of lives were probably saved in the landings of 10 July.
Now, following 16 years of research, London town planner Roger Morgan believes the Man Who Never Was to be Glyndwr Michael, a labourer who killed himself with rat poison in January 1943, and who is still officially Major Martin RM in the Huelva cemetery.
But the theory has its detractors – not least the man who actually placed the body in the sea.
Captain Jewell is modest about the role played by his command - and the other tasks the 865-ton boat undertook.
“I think the reason they chose me was I had already been in the Med,” said Captain Jewell (83) who lives in Hampshire.
“We were not doing anything particularly different than any other submarine.”
Captain Jewell was with Seraph in Scotland for a brief work-up period when he was summonsed to London.
“I met some members of the Twenty Committee because they needed me to know what was happening,” he said.
“I was the only one to know until just before the body was put into the water – I couldn’t have done that by myself.
“Up until then the crew were told there was a weather buoy in the canister
“I don’t believe the claims about the body’s identity – he says the man they chose killed himself with poison, but no one with any sense would use a body in which poison could be found.
“It had to look like he had drowned. The people who were thinking these things out weren’t fools – people like Sir Bernard Spilsbury would only advise that it should be someone who perhaps died of pneumonia, so that the lungs could be washed out with salt water to make it seem genuine.
“From all the evidence in the press recently it sounds most unlikely he was the man that has been named.”
VARIED CAREER OF HMS SERAPH
HMS Seraph had a long, varied and successful career with the Royal Navy and the United States Navy.
She finished the task she had started in Operation Mincemeat by being one of three beacon submarines to guide Allied troops in for Sicily landings in 1943.
She also landed and recovered US General Mark W. Clark and a team which held secret meetings with French leaders near Algiers prior to Allied landings on the coast of North Africa in 1942.
She once sailed as the USS Seraph when nominal command of Seraph passed to US Captain Jerauld Wright in February 1943.
On another occasion the submarine, which had a complement of just under 50, was involved in secret mission to land arms and sabotage equipment near Genoa.
In addition to her “cloak and dagger” operations, Seraph managed to fit in standard Mediterranean patrols, sinking enemy ships around Corsica and in the Aegean.
She finished her active war role in 1944, by which time Captain Jewell had moved on.
The submarine, built by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow and launched in late 1941, was converted into a high-speed target submarine.
Disarmed and streamlined, Seraph helped with anti-submarine training for escorts during and after the war, continuing in service until December 1965, when she was scrapped.
But even then she was not forgotten.
Seraph’s fore hatch, steering and plane wheels, ship’s bell and badge and her periscope are incorporated into a memorial in the grounds of the Citadel, Charleston, South Carolina – the memorial specifically dedicated to a foreign warship in the continental USA, and only place in the world where the White Ensign is hoisted daily on foreign soil to the honours of a foreign military guard and band.
Officer Honoured by Three Nations
Captain Jewell says he has happy memories of his time in Seraph – but is quick to point out that there were many other submarines carrying out similar tasks.
“Quite a lot of us from Seraph are still around – but we were just the same as any other submarine. Most others had similar jobs to do.”
Nevertheless, General Paton praised the conduct of the submarine and her crew, and Lieutenant Jewell, already holder of the British Distinguished Service Cross, subsequently received the Legion of Merit, America’s highest honour for a foreigner, as well as French Chevalier of the Legion of Honour and the Croix de Guerre.
“At the end of the war I spent a couple of months driving T-boats to be laid up around the country, then I became captain of a submarine flotilla in Scotland,” he said.
Post as European Chief of staff for Flag Officer Eastern Atlantic and Director of the Staff Collage followed before Captain Jewell retired.
In asides to Captain Jewell’s service, he was awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire for the rescue of General Giraud from France, which was recorded in the London Gazette on 23 February 1943. The investiture was made by the His Majesty the King on 2 February 1945. His DSC was also presented the same day by the King for Mediterranean patrols where he sank three enemy ships and seven small craft, the award was recorded in the London Gazette on 18 April 1944.

Hi Guys
The SSMCC NSW Chapter recently had their AGM at Coolah NSW with 10 of our members attending, several from ACT.
As per usual, it was both enjoyable, bonding and provided many a laugh from the guys with our resident poet and story teller Smudge providing great entertainment.
We had a guest visit from Spriggy who announced that he will be joining our bike club, which will put the NSW Chapter at 31.
We advised members of the up coming SAA NSW Christmas Party on the 7th and 8th of December at the Wagga Wagga RSL. Also we informed members of next years SAA National AGM at Holbrook in the October long weekend 2020.
We also wished Polly Farmer well who is moving to Nth Qlds Yepoon soon and is one of the foundations members of the bike club.

SUBCON 2020
Hi number 6, below is a summary of Subcon 2020 at Holbrook. There will still be some tweaks here and there and we hope to finalise soonest. Our website is well under way and we hope to have it online soon for expressing of interest. We don’t have costings as yet, but working on it. Can you send this out as a one of to get things moving? or do we need to wait until your next issue
Mick
Hi Greg, just to put you in the picture, our website will be up and running in a few weeks. So far we have met twice with the Holbrook committee members and have put our basic concept together, no pricing at this time.
What we can say for our members nationally, is that we will have the traditional long weekend in October, a Friday meet and greet with registration earlier in the day, the meet and greet venue is being discussed and will most likely be held at the RSL as will registration.
Saturday will be the National Exec in the am, times to be confirmed but will also be at the RSL in the upstairs board room.
Saturdays Dinner will be a table service 3 curse meal and drinks, (not spirits) and will be held in the Shire hall, we will also cater for dietary requirements. We have the Victorian Navy Band on the hook for the night and this is looking good.
Sunday will be the AGM in the morning time to be confirmed and will also be in the Shire hall. Sunday afternoon we are looking at a tour of some sorts, not yet confirmed bu could either be a winery tour (very local so as not to have too much travel) or a site seeing tour a bit further afield? Also on Sunday afternoon we are looking at having other activities at the RSL for those who do not wish to partake in a tour.
Sunday evening is up to the individual for dinner, there is a choice of the RSL, Chinese at the south end of the street or dinner at the middle pub. The Top pub is under renovation and will be ready for Subcon at this stage and will have an italian restaurant up and running.
Monday will be a farewell BBQ at the Submarine park, it will be bring your own alcohol drinks but soft drinks can be provided, something we are still looking at. We are hopeful to have the Markets on the Monday and a marquee of some type will be on stand by in case of rain.
We are looking at bus transport to the venues each day where possible and practical.
I can’t say there will be no changes to the above, but should be minimal and will advice as things change.
Accommodation has always been a little tight in Holbrook and is generally 3.5 star. We believe we have sufficient rooms to accomodate about 180 persons, and as usual, booking early is recommended. The attachment includes accommodation outside of Holbrook for those that either leave booking to the last minute or prefer to be somewhere a little more quite.
Dates for the long weekend are Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th of October 2020.

I spoke to Dave Stangeward as well and the meeting went well with Holebrook Council so everything is on track for next year. My Idea of setting up camp stretchers and sleeping bags under the Forecasing did not fly, I even suggested a Trot Sentry but shot down. Fortunate enough to secure the last room in the Sky Motel which has a double bed and three single beds. So if anyone coming down needs a bunk give me a bell (I have the double and no sharing).

An another OAM reciprient Ken Greenwood and I had an hour discussion last week. We joined boats together served on a few in various capacities and great to catch up. As it turns out, Ken was not much of a drinker and has a great memory so when asked on Geoff Andersons request put together a comprehensive plan and layout of the old Submarine School and respective offices and classrooms.
Hi Spike and Geoff,
Please meet Mike Todd. Mike is an Ex RN – Nuclear Submariner who is keen to learn more, and will more than likely join the SAA and the NSW Branch of the SAA. Mike lives in Leichhardt, NSW and I am sure will like our banter and opportunity to be part of our brotherhood and camaraderie.
I plan to out these on the Slops Van in the short term and am keen to see if I can find a pair of plastic RAN Pussers Issue Sandals, that we may try out in leather if there was sufficient interest? Personally, I prefer the RN Ones.
If you could please throw him a membership lifeline it would be appreciated.
Thank you
Terry “Titch” Parsons

From Fred Fisher:
Greg,
I hope you are travelling well Mate, I look forward to all the issues from “The Grot”. Thanks mate for all your work and efforts to keep us updated and connected. I have a personal request, do you have the contact details of Tony Parkin my first CO on Ovens when I changed over? I would really appreciate it.
Take care Greg and Thanks.
Many would not know, but Fred has gone though years of pergotory and nearly lost his left leg. He is in fact on the mend and after speaking to him got on to Tony Parkin and another half hour conversation. My phone bill is going to be astronomical!

As a serving member on Ovens (did my Pt 3 under the watchful eyes of Jumpa Cross, Joe Spo and Jeffy Boy) I am disgusted by the lack of attendees. I had three stints including two RIMPAC (Mk 48 first firing and then a few years later Harpoon firing and I was busting my guts to get over there but had keyhole surgery on Tuesday and unable to fly (which pissed my Wife off something chronic. When Sid and Sheik opened it up for serving members who served on the Old Girl thought that it would attract attention nationwide? But for the work you boys have done and the planning involved BZ and hope all goes well.
