EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white studio photograph captures the image of a young boy proudly wearing the uniform and cap of the HMS Orion, a Royal Navy cruiser that saw active service during the First World War. Dated circa 1918, the little boy's expression is one of determination and maturity beyond his years, as he sits confidently on a painted stool against a backdrop of a nautical scene. The crisp white sailor suit, complete with a red stripe and brass buttons, is adorned with various insignia and badges, including the distinctive HMS Orion cap band. The boy's small hands clasp the cap tightly, as if to ensure it stays in place during the rough seas of the war. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, evoking the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice during the Great War. This historical image is an invaluable addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia or military history.
