EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Naval Division (RND) at HMS Crystal Palace, also known as "The Old Glass Dreadnought," during the early days of World War I. Established in September 1914, the Royal Naval Division was formed to support the British Army on land, making it unique among the naval forces of the time. The sailors in this image don their distinctive uniforms, adorned with the Royal Navy's insignia, as they gather on the deck of the historic HMS Crystal Palace. The presence of the Sphinx from the Old Egyptian Court adds an intriguing element to the scene. This ancient artifact, a symbol of wisdom and strength, may have been used as a mascot or decoration for the ship, reflecting the enduring fascination with Egypt and its rich history. The RND served valiantly throughout the First World War, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. The division was disbanded in June 1919, marking the end of an era in naval history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie and determination of the sailors who answered the call to serve their country during wartime.
