EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Admiral Sir Frederick Charles Doveton Sturdee (1859-1925) and Rear Admiral Sir Roger John Brownlow Keyes (1872-1945) stand side by side, both clad in their full naval uniforms. The image, captured around 1916 during World War I, portrays the two British naval officers in the prime of their careers. Admiral Sturdee, a native of New Zealand, had made a name for himself in the Royal Navy through his distinguished service in the Pacific and the Mediterranean. He would go on to command the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron during the Battle of the Falklands in 1914, where his strategic maneuvers played a crucial role in the British victory against the German fleet. Rear Admiral Keyes, a British naval officer, had also earned a reputation for his bravery and tactical acumen. He would later command the Dover Patrol during the early stages of World War I, where he played a significant role in the successful defense of the English Channel against German naval incursions. The photograph captures the two admirals in their formal attire, with Sturdee wearing the distinctive Admiral of the Fleet insignia on his collar, and Keyes sporting the Rear Admiral rank insignia. The image is a testament to the camaraderie and unity among the British naval officers during a time of great conflict and uncertainty. The backdrop of the photograph is a nondescript room, with a large window revealing a view of the sea beyond. The image exudes a sense of calm and determination, as the two admirals stand resolute, ready to face the challenges of the war at sea. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of the British Navy during World War I and the crucial role played by its commanders like Sturdee and Keyes.
