EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the heroic actions of the British Royal Navy in Narvik harbour on 10 April 1940, during the early stages of World War II. In the face of tremendous odds, Captain Warburton-Lee led the second destroyer flotilla in a daring attack against greatly superior German forces. The British naval forces faced off against numerous destroyers and supply ships, which were crucial to the German occupation of Narvik. The photo depicts the aftermath of the intense battle, with HMS Hunter and HMS Hardy taking center stage. HMS Hunter, a British destroyer, was sunk during the engagement, while HMS Hardy was driven ashore. Despite the losses, the British forces managed to inflict significant damage on the enemy. One German destroyer was sunk, two were set on fire, and all supply ships were destroyed. This heroic dash into Narvik harbour marked a crucial turning point in the campaign to reclaim the town from the Germans. The bravery and determination of the British sailors in the face of overwhelming enemy forces showcased the resilience and fighting spirit of the Royal Navy during wartime. This photograph, taken by renowned war correspondent G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the British forces during World War II.
