EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment a British troopship, transporting the esteemed "Old Contemptibles" of the regular army, encounters a man-of-war in the Mediterranean Sea during World War I. Circa 1916, the Old Contemptibles were a nickname adopted by the British troops to signify their respect for the soldiers who had served in the Sudan Campaigns of the late 19th century. The term was later extended to include all British regular soldiers who served in the early stages of the First World War. The troopship, laden with soldiers and their supplies, sails serenely through the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean as a powerful warship looms on the horizon. The man-of-war, with its impressive guns and imposing presence, stands guard over the sea lanes, ensuring the safety of the troopship and its valuable cargo. The Old Contemptibles, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, can be seen on the deck of the troopship, gazing at the warship with a mixture of awe and respect. The sight of the man-of-war would have been a familiar one to these soldiers, many of whom had served in the Royal Navy before joining the army. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the logistical efforts of the British military during World War I, as well as the camaraderie and respect that existed between the soldiers and the sailors of the Royal Navy. The Old Contemptibles would go on to play a crucial role in the early battles of the war, earning a reputation for their bravery and tenacity on the battlefield. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the vital role played by the Royal Navy in protecting them as they made their way to the front lines.
