EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Birchol, a British naval oil tanker, at sea during the First World War. Launched in the summer of 1917, the RFA Birchol was a vital asset to the British Navy as it served off the coast of northern Russia, delivering essential fuel supplies to the Allied forces stationed there. The British presence in the Arctic region was crucial during this time, as the Allies sought to support the White Russian forces against the Bolsheviks. The RFA Birchol's mission was particularly important in the winter months when the ice made navigation treacherous and the need for fuel even more pressing. With her distinctive funnel stack and sleek silhouette, the RFA Birchol cuts through the waves, her purpose clear in her determined progress. The vast expanse of the ocean stretches out behind her, dotted with other ships and boats, all working together to ensure the success of the Allied efforts in northern Russia. This photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of naval warfare during the First World War, as well as the resilience and determination of the men and women who served on these vital supply vessels.
