HMS Marlborough: Royal Marines on X Turret Bid Farewell to General Harrington (circa 1923) This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of HMS Marlborough, an Iron Duke-class battleship of the British Royal Navy. Named after John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, this magnificent warship was built at Devonport Royal Dockyard between January 1912 and June 1914 and entered service just prior to the First World War. Assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet after the war, HMS Marlborough played a significant role in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War in the Black Sea (1919-1920). The ship also took part in the Greco-Turkish War. In this image, Royal Marines are seen on X Turret, their determined expressions reflecting their readiness to give a rousing send-off to General Harrington. The sailors, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, stand at attention on the deck of the battleship, their postures exuding a sense of discipline and pride. The Iron Duke-class battleship, with its imposing presence and powerful guns, looms in the background, a testament to the formidable might of the British Royal Navy in the 1920s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was recovering from the devastation of the First World War and the geopolitical landscape was undergoing significant changes. HMS Marlborough, with its rich history and iconic status, continues to be an enduring symbol of the British naval tradition and the bravery and dedication of its sailors and marines.
