EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Peggy, the intrepid bulldog mascot of HMS Iron Duke, standing proudly at attention during a dress parade in the early years of the First World War. The Iron Duke, a formidable British battleship named after the Duke of Wellington, saw active service in the North Sea and the Mediterranean between 1914 and 1919. Peggy, a beloved and spirited member of the ship's company, was a constant source of morale-boosting companionship for the sailors. Dressed in a smart, tailored jacket adorned with navy insignia, Peggy exudes a sense of pride and discipline, mirroring the ethos of the Royal Navy during wartime. The bulldog's unwavering gaze and stalwart demeanor serve as a testament to the resilience and determination of the sailors who served aboard the Iron Duke. The image of Peggy in her costume, standing at ease amidst the crisp uniforms and polished equipment, offers a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that existed between the sailors and their mascots during this pivotal period in history. The photograph not only encapsulates the spirit of the Royal Navy during World War I but also highlights the enduring role that animals, particularly mascots like Peggy, played in boosting morale and fostering camaraderie among the troops.
