EDITORS COMMENTS
WW1: The Naval Division on their way to Antwerp, October 1914. In this evocative photograph, members of the British Naval Division, consisting of one marine and two naval brigades, numbering approximately 10,500 men, are seen aboard a ship as they make their way across the English Channel towards the battlefront in Antwerp. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, had been raging since July 1914, and the Naval Division was a crucial component of the Allied forces. With the German army advancing on Antwerp, the British government dispatched these soldiers to bolster the city's defenses and protect the vital port. The sight of these brave men, dressed in their uniforms and ready for action, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this global conflict. The English Channel, once a symbol of peace and commerce, now served as a gateway to the battlefield for these soldiers, who would soon face the harsh realities of war.
