EDITORS COMMENTS
HMS Grafton: A Blistered Sentinel of the Gallipoli Campaign Amidst the tumultuous waters of the First World War, the British Edgar-class cruiser, HMS Grafton, stood as a resilient sentinel against the relentless tide of conflict. Launched in 1892, this historic vessel served valiantly during the Gallipoli Campaign, a pivotal yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt to secure the Dardanelles and Constantinople from the Ottoman Empire. As the world plunged into darkness during the early 1900s, HMS Grafton's hull bore the scars of numerous battles. The once sleek and elegant lines of the cruiser were now marred by bulges and blisters, a testament to the brutal realities of modern warfare. These protective measures, known as 'blisters,' were added to shield the ship from the devastating impact of torpedo attacks. The image captured here, circa 1914-1918, reveals the battle-hardened HMS Grafton as she stood her ground against the relentless onslaught of enemy forces. The blistered hull, a symbol of endurance and resilience, served as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Gallipoli Campaign and the broader conflict that engulfed the world. HMS Grafton's legacy extends beyond the annals of military history, as she remains a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of the British Navy during the First World War. Despite the ravages of war, she continued to serve her country, ultimately decommissioned in 1920, leaving behind a rich and enduring legacy.
