EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense moment of preparation before the attack on the German cruiser SMS Konigsberg off the coast of German East Africa during the First World War. The British Humber class monitor, HMS Severn, is seen in the foreground, its fore 6-inch gun trained and ready for action. The HMS Severn, a powerful gunboat, was one of several British ships dispatched to destroy the German cruiser, which had been terrorizing Allied shipping in the region since early 1915. The attack, which took place in June of that year, was a significant victory for the Allies, marking the end of the Konigsberg's reign of terror in the Indian Ocean. The image captures the intensity and determination of the British sailors as they prepare to engage the enemy, the weight of history hanging heavy in the air. The HMS Severn's powerful gun, with its ominous smoke stack, stands as a testament to the technological might of the time and the brutal realities of war. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in World War 1 history, a moment of conflict and resolution on the shores of German East Africa.
