EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of loyalty and camaraderie that existed among the crew of the HMS Stork during World War II. The mascot of this Royal Navy ship, named Buster, is seen here sitting proudly on the deck, gazing out to sea with an air of quiet determination. The HMS Stork, a S-class destroyer, was commissioned into the Royal Navy on April 16, 1942, and saw active service in the Atlantic and Arctic theaters of the war. Buster, a sturdy and energetic English Bulldog, was a beloved member of the ship's company. He was a source of morale and comfort to the sailors, providing a much-needed distraction from the harsh realities of life at sea during wartime. The bond between Buster and the crew was strong, and he was even said to have saved lives on more than one occasion by alerting the crew to the presence of enemy submarines. In this image, Buster's keen eyes seem to scan the horizon, alert and focused, a reflection of the unwavering vigilance required of the crew of the HMS Stork. The photograph captures a moment of stillness and calm amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, a testament to the enduring power of the human-animal bond and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
