EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1937, where a navy landing party is captured in action on the beautiful island of St Kitts in the West Indies. The image, originally featured as a cigarette card from The Navy series produced by Senior Service Cigarettes, offers a glimpse into British naval history during the early 20th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of brave and determined men from the Royal Navy standing amidst lush tropical surroundings. Towering palm trees frame their presence, reminding us of the exotic nature that surrounds them. These sailors embody strength and resilience as they prepare for potential warfare on foreign shores. The location itself holds significance within the context of British imperialism, representing one of many islands under their control in the Caribbean region. St Kitts was part of the Leeward Islands chain within Lesser Antilles, showcasing Britain's expansive reach across its empire. Although we do not know much about these individuals or their specific mission at hand, this photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and service to their country during times of war. Preserved by The Print Collector and now made available for all to appreciate through Heritage Images, it allows us to reflect upon an era long gone but not forgotten - an era defined by bravery and camaraderie among those who served at sea.
