HM Submarine L10Cyril James Hughes, who was serving on L10, commissioned a model of the L10 (not the most engineered piece but none the less a great piece of history) for his Irish Girlfriend, whom upon hearing of his passing very kindly sent the model back to his Mother. Sadly nothing more is known about his girlfriend other than her wonderful kind act meant a lot to his Mother and other family members.
