EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the First World War era, Commodore Sir Roger John Brownlow Keyes (1872-1945) is seen giving a tour of HM Submarine E11 to a foreign journalist. Dressed in his naval uniform, the future Admiral of the Fleet exudes confidence and authority as he points out various features of the submarine to the inquisitive journalist. The year is circa 1915, and the Great War was in full swing. Keyes, who had already distinguished himself in the navy with several notable accomplishments, was known for his innovative approaches to submarine warfare. This tour was likely part of a larger public relations campaign aimed at boosting morale and generating positive press for the British navy during a time of great adversity. The journalist, with pen and notepad in hand, looks intently at the submarine, no doubt eager to capture the details of this unique experience for his readers back home. The image captures a moment in history when the world was transfixed by the new and mysterious technology of the submarine, and the role it would play in the ongoing conflict.
