EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment before the fateful encounter between the British Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy during the Malayan Campaign of World War II. Admiral Sir Tom Phillips, shown here in his full admiral's uniform, served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Fleet from December 1, 1941. With the imminent threat of Japanese invasion, Phillips led Force Z, consisting of the battleships H.M.S. Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse, in a desperate attempt to deter the enemy's advance. The image portrays a determined and focused Phillips, as he prepared to embark on his flagship, the H.M.S. Prince of Wales, on December 10, 1941. Tragically, this would be the admiral's last day. During the ensuing Battle of the Gulf of Siam, the Japanese launched a surprise air attack on the British fleet. The H.M.S. Prince of Wales and the H.M.S. Repulse were both sunk, resulting in the loss of over 800 lives, including that of Admiral Sir Tom Phillips. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of Admiral Sir Tom Phillips and the crew of the Eastern Fleet during the dark days of the Malayan Campaign. His leadership and determination were instrumental in the face of overwhelming odds, and his legacy continues to inspire those who served in the Royal Navy and beyond.
