EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph captures the British submarine HMS E6 during the First World War, circa 1915. The submarine, a crucial component of the Royal Navy's underwater fleet, was one of the earliest and most successful models of its kind. The HMS E6 was a E-class submarine, measuring 56 feet in length and displacing 325 tons. The image shows the submarine's rough, textured hull, adorned with the Union Jack flag and the distinctive ensign of the Royal Navy. The submarine's conning tower, where the commander would direct the vessel, rises above the waterline. A crew of 25 men operated the HMS E6, manning various stations including the engine room, torpedo room, and gun turret. The submarine's primary role during the war was to transport supplies and ammunition to the British forces in the Mediterranean and the North Sea. However, it was also armed with torpedoes, making it a formidable weapon against enemy ships. The HMS E6 and its crew played a vital role in the naval war effort, contributing to the Allied victory in the First World War. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the harsh realities of life aboard a submarine during wartime. The men in the photograph, dressed in their heavy, insulating uniforms, appear focused and determined, a testament to their bravery and dedication to their duty. The HMS E6 and its crew were part of a larger story of courage and resilience, a story that continues to shape our understanding of history.
