EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination among the British sailors participating in the Arbuthnot Trophy interfleet crosscountry race in the Dardanelles, Turkey, in 1923. Named after Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Keith Arbuthnot, 4th Baronet (1864-1916), a British Royal Navy officer who met his death at the Battle of Jutland during World War I, the Arbuthnot Trophy was a unique interfleet event that brought together 400 runners from various British Navy ships. The race took place on the Gallipoli Peninsula, a historic site of intense military conflict during the First World War. The photograph shows the Iron Duke Class battleship, The Iron Duke, proudly displaying the Arbuthnot Trophy, won by its crew in this grueling marathon-style crosscountry race. The sailors, dressed in their uniforms and wearing racing numbers, are seen running through rugged terrain, their faces displaying a mix of concentration, exhaustion, and determination. The scenic backdrop of the Dardanelles and the Turkish coastline adds to the sense of adventure and endurance. The Arbuthnot Trophy race was a popular event in the 1920s, reflecting the importance of physical fitness and team spirit within the British Navy. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the sailors, who trained rigorously for this challenging race, and their unwavering commitment to their ships and their country.
