The image showcases portraits of the brave officers who lost their lives in this catastrophic incident. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these military men. The explosion occurred at the Royal Laboratory in Shoeburyness, where Captain F. M. Goold Adams and Colonel Francis Lyon served as superintendent and assistant superintendent of experiments respectively. Both officers tragically lost their lives while fulfilling their duties for the School of Gunnery. Colonel W. A.

It serves as a somber reminder of the risks faced by those serving in defense forces worldwide. Preserved within a private collection today, this historic artwork offers us an opportunity to reflect upon the sacrifices made by these officers who gave their lives while striving for advancements in weaponry technology.
