The World War One selection features a submariner's photos of U-25, an early German U-boat.They belonged to WO Friedrich Pohl who served on U-boats SM-25 and SMU-33.

There are many photos of the U-boat itself, crew on deck and attacks on Norwegian merchant ships with the surface gun.

U-25 was launched 12 July 1913, sank a total of 21 ships, 14,126 tons and surrendered to France 23 February 1919.The World War Two photos include images from an original WW2 U Boat commander's photo album.

It belonged to Kapitan Leutnant Herbert Bruninghaus.

As a U Boat navigator, he served on the famous U-38 under ace Heinrich Liebe.

Herbert later went on to command three U Boats of his own - U-6, U-148 and U-1059.
