EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of quiet determination on the deck of a British destroyer during the First World War. Seated on the right, with a serious expression, is Commodore Reginald Yorke Tyrwhitt (1870-1951), a renowned British naval officer who would later be appointed Admiral of the Fleet. He wears the full uniform of his rank, complete with the distinctive gold braid and stars. Standing to his left, with a chart spread out before him, is Flag Lieutenant Floyer. His attire reflects his role as aide-de-camp to the commodore, with the red and gold pennant of his position visible on his left sleeve. The pair are deep in conversation, their focus on the tactical situation at hand. The destroyer, with its sails raised and guns at the ready, looms ominously in the background, a testament to the constant threat of enemy attack during this tumultuous period. The waters around them are calm, but the tension in the air is palpable. This image offers a unique glimpse into the world of the British Navy during the Great War. It is a reminder of the courage and leadership displayed by officers like Commodore Tyrwhitt and Flag Lieutenant Floyer, who played a crucial role in safeguarding the nation's interests on the high seas.
