Norris Jones, a sailor aboard HMCS Swansea, kept a record of his experiences, including the sinking of U-448 in European waters.

Jones's entries for 14 and 15 April (right) describe the attack and subsequent rescue of German crew members from the submarine. His identification of U-448 and the details of its eight-week patrol were presumably gleaned from survivors rescued by Swansea. Most notably, Jones obtained the signatures and addresses of a number of U-448's crew, which take up much of the page.
