November 1, 1914: A Close Shave for British and French Sailors Interned in Holland During World War 1 This evocative photograph captures a moment of daily life for British and French sailors who were interned in Holland during the early months of World War 1. The image, taken on November 21, 1914, shows a young sailor receiving a close shave from a shipmate, as another looks on. Both men are dressed in their naval uniforms, with the distinctive insignia of the Royal Navy (RN) and the French Marine Nationale visible on their collars. The sailors were part of a larger group of Allied naval personnel who had been interned in the Netherlands following the outbreak of hostilities in Europe. Many had been aboard ships that had taken refuge in Dutch waters, seeking sanctuary from the ongoing conflict. The internment camps provided a temporary respite from the horrors of war, but life was far from easy for the men. Despite the challenging circumstances, camaraderie and a sense of routine continued to prevail. The sailors would have taken turns to shave each other, using the limited supplies they had managed to acquire. The simple act of shaving not only helped to maintain their appearance but also provided a brief moment of respite from the monotony and uncertainty of camp life. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the larger narrative of the First World War. It highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the men who found themselves far from home and in unfamiliar surroundings. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring bonds of friendship and solidarity that existed between British and French sailors, even in the most trying of circumstances.
