A memorial in Barrow to the men of two submarines of the Royal Australian Navy, built in Barrow-in-Furness and lost in the Great War.

Submarine AE 1 was lost off Papua New Guinea in September 1914, with all hands.

AE 2 was the first submarine to penetrate the Sea of Marmara in the Dardanelles campaign, where she  was damaged by a Turkish torpedo boat and scuttled by her crew, who were captured. Four died as POWs.
