EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the crew of the British HMS E11 submarine, one of the most successful units in the naval operations of the Dardanelles Campaign during World War I. The image likely dates back to around 1915, during the submarine's third tour of duty in the Sea of Marmara. The crew members, dressed in their naval uniforms and focused on their tasks, exude a sense of determination and camaraderie. The E11 was a formidable vessel, responsible for sinking over 80 enemy vessels of various sizes throughout the campaign. The successful attacks on Turkish defenses at Gallipoli significantly impacted the outcome of the naval battles in this critical region. With the backdrop of the submarine's deck and the ominous shadows cast by the towering masts, this photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the brave men who served on the front lines of the First World War's naval theatre. The E11's crew's unwavering commitment and skill played a crucial role in the British Navy's efforts to control the waters surrounding the Dardanelles and ultimately contribute to the eventual Allied victory.
