EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern visages of five prominent Royal Navy leaders during the first 25 years of King George V's reign (1910-1935). From left to right, we see Admiral of the Fleet Earl Beatty in his full admiral's uniform, adorned with numerous medals and decorations; Vice-Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, known for his daring raids during World War I; Earl Jellicoe, First Sea Lord and Commander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet; Admiral of the Fleet Earl Fisher, a key figure in the naval arms race with Germany; and Admiral Sir Reginald Evans, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet. The image, taken in 1935, captures the gravity and determination of these naval giants as they led the Royal Navy through a period of significant change and challenge, including the aftermath of World War I and the looming threat of another conflict. Their uniforms and medals attest to their long and distinguished careers, and their unwavering commitment to the defense of their country.
