EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War as British sailors diligently lay anti-submarine nets from a drifter. The year is between 1914 and 1918, a time when the threat of submarine attacks on Allied shipping was a constant concern. The sailors, dressed in their naval uniforms, work together to lower the nets and floats over the side of the small boat. An officer stands at the helm, giving instructions and ensuring the operation runs smoothly. The chain attached to the net can be seen coiled on the deck, ready to be thrown overboard to secure the net to the ship. The drifter, a type of small, shallow-draft vessel, bobbed gently on the waves as the sailors went about their task. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of sailors during wartime, their determination and teamwork evident as they worked to protect their ships and the vital supplies they carried from the threat of submarine attacks. The tranquil scene belies the danger and uncertainty that was a constant presence during the Great War at sea.
