EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a wooden propeller, meticulously painted with the insignia of either a RE8 or a BE2E aircraft, is poised for takeoff as it leaves the English coastline over the North Sea. The propeller, a relic of a bygone era, carries with it the history of its owner, J. Willey, who served valiantly in the British navy during World War I. J. Willey's war service was prefaced by 2.5 years in the Persian Gulf under semi-active service conditions in H.M.S. Fox. During the first few months of the war, this ship patrolled trade routes, captured merchant vessels, convoyed troops to British East Africa, and the Indian Expeditionary Force halfway across the Indian Ocean. After a period on the East Coast of Africa, Willey was sent to the hospital in Mombasa with beriberi. Invalided to England about the beginning of February 1915, he underwent training at the Torpedo School in Devonport before being stationed at Harwich in H.M.S. Melpomene. Willey remained in the Melpomene until January 1917, and then served until the end of the war in H.M.S. Satyr, where he patrolled, mined sinking, and performed various other duties. This wooden propeller, painted with the insignia of a RE8 or BE2E, is a testament to Willey's service and the crucial role he played in the British naval efforts during World War I. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the propeller's intricate design and the vast expanse of the North Sea stretching out behind it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by men like Willey during times of conflict.
