There was a terrific explosion, the guns went up in the air just like matchsticks — 12" guns they were — She began to settle down and within half a minute the ship turned right over and she was gone. I was thrown, I was about 180 foot up, you understand, and I was thrown well clear of the ship otherwise I would have been sucked under. When I came up, there was another fellow there name Green, Jimmy Green, I think it was, and we swam over, we got a piece of wood, he was on one end and I was on the other end. A couple of minutes afterwards some shells come over and Jim was minus his head, he went, so I was left on me lonesome.[1]
Falmer and an Able Seaman Elliott were rescued by the German destroyer S16.[2][Citation needed]
