EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir postcard commemorates the Special Service Squadron World Tour of 1923-1924, an historic event in the annals of the British Royal Navy. The postcard features portraits of two esteemed naval officers of the time: Vice Admiral Sir Frederick L. Field and Rear Admiral Sir Hubert G. Brand. The vessels depicted in the background are a testament to the grandeur and might of the British naval fleet during the 1920s. The ships shown include the HMS Delhi, Repulse, Hood, Dauntless, Danae, Dunedin, and Dragon. The battleship HMS Hood, with its imposing presence, was the flagship of the squadron. The HMS Repulse and HMS Renown were battlecruisers, while the HMS Dauntless and HMS Danae were light cruisers. The HMS Delhi and HMS Dunedin were transport ships, and the HMS Dragon was a destroyer. Sir Frederick L. Field, in his full admiral's uniform, is shown on the left, while Sir Hubert G. Brand is depicted on the right. The officers' stern gazes and serious expressions convey a sense of duty and determination. The postcard serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the world was being shaped by the naval power of great nations. The Special Service Squadron World Tour was a significant event in the history of the Royal Navy, as it demonstrated the British Navy's global reach and its commitment to maintaining peace and order on the high seas. This postcard is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the rich maritime heritage of the British Isles.
