November 3 - Raid on Great Yarmouth
The German Navy raids Great Yarmouth. Little damage is inflicted on the town as the shelling started after German minelayers offshore were interrupted by British destroyers. One British submarine - HMS D5 -
is sunk by a mine as it left harbour to attack the
Germans, while one German armoured cruiser is sunk after striking
two German mines outside its own home port.
The North Sea is declared a British military area, allowing the Royal Navy to patrol and stop any merchant vessel suspected of carrying cargoes for Germany.
The Battle of Tanga continues. All British forces are ashore and in readiness to attack Tanga.
The 26th Brigade, RFA, remains in action near Veldhoek, Groenenburg and Gheluvelt.`
