Previously recorded fate
Depth charged by the sloop Campanula off Cap Bon, Italy
on January 18, 1918. UB 66, however, was ordered to patrol in the Eastern
Mediterranean before sailing to Constantinople. She refueled in Beirut
on January 10, and was sighted off Famagusta on the 12th. The sinking of
the Windsor Hall on January 17th must also be credited to UB 66 which could not have been off Cap Bon the following day.
