EDITORS COMMENTS
This commemorative card captures a significant moment in World War I history, as five British naval ships, HMS Eclipse, Diana, Glory, Talbot, and Charybdis, escorted 32 liners carrying approximately 33,000 Canadian troops across the Atlantic Ocean towards Plymouth, England, on 14 October 1914. The convoy was an essential part of the Allied war effort, transporting Canadian forces to join the fight against Germany and its allies. The British Navy's role in protecting the convoy was crucial, as the transatlantic journey was a dangerous undertaking due to the threat of German U-boats and surface raiders. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers and sailors involved in the conflict, as well as the vital contribution of the British Navy in supporting the Allied war effort during WWI.
