EDITORS COMMENTS
Midnight Mass Onboard HMS Collingwood, North Shields, 1916: A Moment of Peace Amidst the Chaos of War This evocative photograph captures the solemn and poignant scene of Midnight Mass being held onboard HMS Collingwood, a Royal Navy armored cruiser, docked at North Shields, near Newcastle, Northumberland, England, during World War One. The year was 1916, and the world was embroiled in the Great War, a conflict that would claim the lives of millions and leave indelible marks on the history of humanity. Amidst the backdrop of the dark, moonlit sea, the sailors and officers of HMS Collingwood gather in the ship's mess deck, their faces etched with the weariness and gravity of the times. The makeshift altar, adorned with candles and a simple cross, stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the men and women who served in the military during the First World War. Despite the harsh realities of war, they found solace and comfort in their faith, coming together to celebrate the Mass and find momentary respite from the horrors of the battlefield. The photograph also serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of tradition and community, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The sight of the sailors gathered together, united in their faith, is a testament to the enduring power of human connection and the ability to find hope and strength in the darkest of times.
