Thanks to you both for the welcomes.

Just to add to the above, local knowledge has it that 3 bodies washed ashore, but only Otto had his ID tags, so he is the only one commemorated.

I been looking for U110 resting place for a while and after following a link from 110 wiki page , I followed a link to a set of photographs showing that she had been raised and towed in, however it's states her place of being sunk off Hartlepool in the north east of England by HMS Garry.

Could there have been another 110 in ww1 or is this just a mistake, save me from looking for the wreck to dive.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of. Here is a link to possibly the most definitive site on the subject matter which I presume you have already viewed:

The above link also provides a link to a website dedicated to the U Boat:

The graves are from U110

The 'raised' photographs are of UB110, not U110
