EDITORS COMMENTS
The sepia-toned print titled ""What We have We ll hold!", illustration from The Illustrated War News, February 1917 captures a poignant moment during the Great War. In this image, we see the indomitable spirit of the Royal Navy personified in "Brindle Boy" the bull-dog Mascot of the HMS Lion. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of battle, Brindle Boy stands proudly on deck, ready to play his part in this tug-of-war game. His presence symbolizes unwavering loyalty and determination that resonates with both sailors and soldiers alike. As men engage in friendly competition, tugging at opposite ends of a rope, their focus momentarily shifts from war to camaraderie. Brindle Boy's steadfast gaze reflects not only his dedication but also serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, moments of respite can be found. This photograph encapsulates the bond between man and animal during times of conflict. Brindle Boy represents more than just a pet; he embodies hope and resilience amid adversity. As ships sail into treacherous waters and battles rage on, his unwavering loyalty provides solace to those who serve alongside him. Preserved within this private collection is an invaluable glimpse into history - a testament to bravery and sacrifice exhibited by both human beings and their faithful companions throughout World War I.
