EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, reproduced from the special panorama supplement 'Great War Deeds' produced by the Illustrated London News in 1915, captures the moment when the Royal Marine and Naval Brigades (Naval Division) of the British Royal Navy, under the guidance of Colonel Seely, departed from Antwerp following their heroic defense of the city during the First World War. The Naval Division's gallant stand at Antwerp in October 1914, delayed the enemy's advance and ultimately saved Calais from invasion. The scene depicts the weary and determined faces of the men as they leave the city, having bravely withstood the German onslaught. Colonel Seely, at the wheel of the car, leads his troops through the water-logged streets, with the darkened sky above reflecting the turmoil and uncertainty of the times. This poignant drawing by John Dakin is a testament to the courage and bravery displayed by the British forces during the early stages of the war, and serves as a reminder of the significant role played by the Royal Navy in the defense of the coast and coastal towns during this period.
