EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, William Doran, a brave veteran of the Battle of Navarino at the ripe age of 96, is seen sitting on a chair, deep in thought. The image was captured in the St Georges Fulham Road workhouse, where Doran had unfortunately found himself in his old age. Doran's remarkable history came to light when he was discovered to have once served as a powder monkey on the Genoa during the Battle of Navarino in 1827. This historic naval battle took place off the coast of Greece and was a significant victory for the combined forces of the Russian, British, and French fleets against the Ottoman and Egyptian fleets. Doran's role in this pivotal moment in history was a testament to his courage and resilience. Despite his heroic past, Doran's later years were marked by poverty and hardship. He was forced to seek shelter in the workhouse, a place meant for the destitute and the needy. This sad turn of events sparked a campaign to raise funds and provide support for the elderly veteran. The image of Doran, with his wrinkled face and thoughtful expression, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our ancestors in times of war and the importance of caring for our veterans, especially in their old age. The photograph, taken in 1897, is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the compassion that can be found in even the most challenging of circumstances.
