EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative pair of illustrations from a children's ABC book, we are transported back in time to the bustling decks of a Royal Navy vessel during World War II. On the left, an able seaman stands tall and proud, his smartly pressed uniform adorned with stripes, as he salutes with a formal and respectful gesture. His gaze is fixed on the horizon, a determined look in his eyes, as if ready to face any challenge that may come his way. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the tranquil waters, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. Turning our attention to the right image, we find a boatswain, or bosun, in the midst of giving orders to his crew. With a pipe or whistle pressed to his lips, he sends clear and authoritative signals to his men below deck. The bosun's pipe was an essential tool for communication on board ships during this era, used to relay various commands, from starting the engines to signaling the start of a drill. The bosun's pipe was also known as the "voice of the ship," and its distinctive sound was a constant reminder of the ship's hierarchy and the importance of discipline and order. These illustrations, believed to be from circa 1940, offer a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Royal Navy crew member during World War II. The attention to detail in the illustrations, from the creases in the able seaman's uniform to the intricacies of the bosun's pipe, adds to their authenticity and historical significance. These images serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the Royal Navy during the 2nd World War, and the essential role they played in securing the freedom and safety of the world.
