"Schlieffen was a wolfpack of German U-boats that operated during the battle of the Atlantic in World War II. Service history Schlieffen was formed in October 1943 to operate against the North Atlantic convoy routes and comprised 14 boats. It consisted of 6 boats from the disbanded group Rossbach, plus 7 others from bases in France and Germany, while another, , joined from patrol in the Mid Atlantic. Whilst moving into position a number of boats came under attack, principally from aircraft from USS Card, which was operating against their re-fuelling operation. The tanker was attacked on 12 October, but suffered little damage; however, , which was also attacked later that day, was forced to return to base. On 13 October two more boats ( and ) were attacked, and both were destroyed. Another two boats, and U-455 collided; both were damaged, and U-455 was forced to retire to base for repairs, while U-631, with her torpedo tubes out of action, was put on observation duties. From 15 October Schlieffen operated against convoys ONS 20 and ON 206, which were travelling together; U-boats from Schlieffen sank one ship of , but lost six boats (, , , , and ) in one of the most calamitous nights of the campaign for the U-boat arm (U-Bootwaffe, UBW). Schlieffen was disbanded after this attack, with a number of its boats forming the nucleus of a new group, code-named Siegfried. U-boats involved The name Schlieffen was named for Count Alfred von Schlieffen, a Prussian field marshal and strategist of the 19th century.

"Nether Kellet is a village and civil parish in the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, England, a few miles south of Carnforth. It had a population of 646 recorded in the 2001 census,Office for National Statistics : Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Lancaster Retrieved 12 February 2010 increasing to 663 at the 2011 Census. The parish includes the small hamlet of Addington, to the east. Community Nether Kellet is one of the Thankful Villages - only 53 of which are known. These villages and parishes sent men to fight in the Great War, 1914–1918, and all of them came back alive. Nether Kellet sent 21. Their near neighbour, Arkholme, to the east, sent by far the most, 59 men, all of whom returned. It is remarkable to think that two small villages, geographically so close to one another, escaped unscathed from such a conflagration. Furthermore, Nether Kellet was doubly thankful, as 16 villagers served in World War II, 1939–1945, without loss of life. Geography The village is located south of Over Kellet, north of Halton, west of Aughton and east of Bolton-le-Sands. In Literature Not far away, off Dunald Mill Lane and little known today beyond caving circles, lies (now Dunald Mill Hole), subject of a poem by Letitia Elizabeth Landon (Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1836). The size of this cave is somewhat exaggerated in the accompanying plate.
