EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in the history of our naval brigade. Titled "Our Naval Brigade, Gunnery Instruction on Whale Island (HMS 'Excellent')" this image showcases the dedication and precision of our armed forces in the late 19th century. In this scene, we witness a landing party engaged in gunnery instruction on Whale Island. The bluejackets, sub lieutenants, and armourers are seen diligently working together to master their weapons under the watchful eye of their superiors. The presence of a maxim gun adds an element of power and modernity to the composition. The uniforms worn by these brave men proudly display their allegiance to the Royal Navy. HMS Excellent stands tall in the background, symbolizing both strength and discipline within our armed forces. This photograph is not just a documentation of military training; it represents a pivotal era when naval brigades played an essential role in protecting our nation's interests at home and abroad. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in our armed forces during that time. Preserved within this private collection, this historical image continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding our country's security.
