Back Ground Ensign Farewell Lassie Propaganda Sailor Sailors Sentimental Sweet Touching Waving Ww 1

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming image from 1917, a jolly Royal Navy sailor takes a moment to share a tender moment with his young daughter before embarking on a long and uncertain journey. The little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, playfully waves a small white ensign flag as she peeks over her father's broad shoulder. The sailor, wearing his crisp blue uniform with pride, gazes down at his daughter with a loving expression, his hand gently resting on her head. The background shows the hustle and bustle of a busy naval base, yet the focus is on this touching scene of a father's love for his young daughter. The caption, "It's nice to love a wee lassie," speaks to the sentiment of the time, reminding us of the importance of family and love amidst the turmoil of war. This sweet and sentimental photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of the First World War, and the sacrifices made by the British Navy during this time.
