This powerful photograph captures a group of American Red Cross workers standing on the deck of an Allied transport ship during World War II, watching a fierce battle unfold between convoy escorts and a German U-boat in 1944. The tension and fear in their faces is palpable as they witness the dangerous clash at sea.
The workers are all wearing their life jackets, a stark reminder of the constant threat posed by enemy submarines lurking beneath the waves. Despite the inherent risk, these brave individuals continue to fulfill their duty to provide aid and support to those serving on the front lines.
