EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning reproduction of a painting by Norman Wilkinson captures the heroic actions of HMS Gloucester during the Battle of the Marmara Sea in 1914. The British cruiser, under the command of Captain H.C. Fitzroy, found itself facing two formidable German warships, the Goeben and the Breslau, in the Aegean Sea. With determination and bravery, HMS Gloucester engaged the enemy single-handedly, firing repeatedly and skillfully, despite being outgunned and outmatched. The intense battle took place on the water, with the ships exchanging heavy fire as they maneuvered through the waves. The courageous display of HMS Gloucester's crew bought valuable time for the Allied forces to regroup and prepare for a larger engagement. This image, taken from the special panorama supplement "Great War Deeds," produced by the Illustrated London News in 1915, is a testament to the heroism and determination of the British Royal Navy during World War I.
