EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a significant moment in the aftermath of World War Two. The Central Minsewsweeping Clearance Board, consisting of representatives from the Big Four nations - Britain, USA, USSR, and France - gathered in London to collaborate on clearing European waters of mines. Under the chairmanship of E. L. S. King, this board aimed to pool intelligence and resources for this crucial task. Taken on November 21st, 1945 at the Admiralty where the Minesweeping agreement was signed, this image showcases the individuals who played key roles in shaping post-war Europe's maritime landscape. From left to right: Lieut M Stearns Jnr and Captain R F Pryce represented the USA; Commander V Voronov and Eng Rear Admiral A E Brykin represented Russia; Captain H Crombie, Vice Admiral E Ls King (CB, MVO), and Wing Commander A T Pelham-Croom represented the UK; while Admiral P A Sala and Ing Prin Hydr Vantroys stood as representatives for France. The solemn expressions on their faces reflect both the gravity of their mission and their determination to restore safety to European waters ravaged by war. This photograph serves as a testament to international cooperation amidst a time marked by conflict. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot from history reminds us of an era when nations put aside differences for a common cause – rebuilding a shattered world with unity and resilience.
