EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment during World War II as King George VI, accompanied by senior naval officers, stands at ease on the quarterdeck of HMS Duke of York in Scapa Flow. The year is 1943, and the King, dressed in full uniform, is flanked by Rear-Admiral J.G. Glennie, Rear-Admiral R.L. Burnett, Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser, Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Moore, and Rear-Admiral L.H.K. Hamilton. The officers, all in their dress uniforms, pay their respects to the monarch with an attentive stance, reflecting the formalities and traditions of the British Royal Navy during wartime. The HMS Duke of York, a formidable battlecruiser, served as a flagship for the Home Fleet, and this visit by the King was a morale-boosting gesture to the crew and a symbol of their unwavering support for the war effort. The backdrop of the ship's guns, some of which are trained towards the horizon, underscores the seriousness and gravity of the situation. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the personal side of wartime leadership, showcasing the camaraderie and unity between the King and the officers of the Royal Navy. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience demonstrated by the British people during the 1940s, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Royal Family and the Royal Navy during World War II.
