EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young naval cadets in intensive training at Shotley Barracks during the First World War. Dated between 1914 and 1918, these boys were attached to HMS Ganges, a Royal Navy training ship, where they honed their skills in six-inch battery work. Their determined expressions and focused gaze reveal their dedication to their craft as they work meticulously on the large artillery pieces. The setting, Shotley Barracks, was a significant site for naval training during the Great War. The boys, likely between the ages of 12 and 18, were taught the intricacies of gunnery and artillery work, essential skills for the Royal Navy during a time of conflict. Their tutors and supervisors, not visible in the photograph, would have provided guidance and instruction, ensuring the cadets were prepared for their future roles on board naval vessels. The six-inch guns, a vital component of the British naval arsenal during the First World War, required a high level of precision and expertise to operate effectively. The boys in this photograph are seen working diligently, likely drilling with dummy rounds, as they learned the complex processes involved in loading, aiming, and firing these weapons. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and sacrifice of the young men who served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. This photograph, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of naval cadets during a time of war. It stands as a testament to the importance of training and the resilience of those who answered the call to serve their country.
