EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image, taken from the special panorama supplement "Great War Deeds" produced by the Illustrated London News in 1915, captures the raw emotion of the Australian sailors on board the HMAS Sydney as they witness the defeated and sinking German cruiser Emden turning to run aground in November 1914. The painting, by C.M. Padday, depicts a scene of heroic bravery and courage as the Allied naval forces, including the HMAS Sydney, engaged in a fierce battle with the German cruiser off the coast of the Cocos Islands. The Australian sailors, a mixture of cheers and tears, reflect the intense emotions experienced during the conflict as they prepare to secure their victory on the ocean. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the brave actions of the men of the Australian Navy during World War I and the significant role they played in the larger Allied naval efforts.
