On 5 August 1914, she was towed by the light cruiser Attentive to Terschelling along with E8 which was towed by the destroyer Ariel. E6 and E8 then made the first Heligoland Bight Patrol. On 28 August 1914, E6 and E8 other boats took positions in a planned raid against the German Heligoland Bight Patrol using surface ships. On 25 September 1914, E6 fouled on two mines in Heligoland Bight, but escaped. E6 was mined on 26 December 1915 in the North Sea off Harwich.
