EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a unique piece of British maritime history: A Grafton china commemorative plate depicting Submarine No. E.9. of the Royal Navy. The submarine, adorned with the Coat of Arms of Banbury, is a testament to the town's rich naval heritage. During the tumultuous years of World War I (1914-1918), the British Navy played a crucial role in protecting the United Kingdom and its allies from the threat of German U-boats. Submarines, such as No. E.9., were instrumental in this effort, patrolling the North Sea and the English Channel. The Grafton China Company, a renowned British ceramics manufacturer, created this commemorative plate to honor the bravery and dedication of the submarine's crew. The intricately designed plate features the submarine's hull, propellers, and periscope, along with the Banbury Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms, which includes a cross keys, a castle, and a goat, represents Banbury's history as a market town and its connection to the Royal Navy. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of the plate and the historical significance of the submarine and the town of Banbury during World War I. The plate serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the Royal Navy during this time, ensuring the safety and freedom of their country.
