EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic HMS Sturdy, a class destroyer from 1937. The ship's powerful presence is evident as it sails through the rough waters of the sea, showcasing its strength and resilience. However, behind this stunning image lies a tragic tale of loss and sacrifice. In 1940, tragedy struck when HMS Sturdy ran aground off Tiree Island in western Scotland. Despite valiant efforts to reach safety on shore, five brave crew members tragically lost their lives in the treacherous waters. This poignant reminder serves as a testament to the dangers faced by those who served during World War II. The print itself is part of The Navy series produced by Senior Service Cigarettes in 1937. It not only showcases the beauty and grandeur of naval warfare but also highlights the importance of transportation and ships during times of war. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those who made ultimate sacrifices for their country aboard HMS Sturdy. Their bravery will forever be etched into our collective memory as we pay tribute to all those who fought valiantly during World War II.
