EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the makeshift sleeping quarters of the Royal Naval Volunteers inside the iconic Crystal Palace in London during October 1914. With the outbreak of World War I, the Crystal Palace, which had been vacant since the Great Exhibition of 1851, was repurposed to accommodate the growing number of volunteers joining the Royal Navy. The image shows rows upon rows of hammocks, neatly arranged in the vast, cavernous space of the Canadian Building. The volunteers, eager to contribute to the war effort, slept here temporarily before being assigned to naval vessels. The sight of the hammocks, suspended from the metal framework of the building, creates a stark contrast to the grandeur and opulence the Crystal Palace was once known for. The volunteers, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen resting or chatting amongst themselves. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and determination, as they prepare to embark on their naval duties. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unique and unexpected ways in which communities came together during the First World War to support the war effort, even repurposing iconic landmarks like the Crystal Palace. This image, taken in October 1914, is a testament to the adaptability and resilience of the British people during a time of crisis. The Royal Naval Volunteers, with their makeshift sleeping quarters, transformed the Crystal Palace into a temporary shelter, demonstrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness that characterized the war effort.
