EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph features the Angel of Victory statue, a cherished memento presented to Frederick Crosby Halahan (F.C.H.) by his dear friend Francis Robert Edward Davis (F.R.E.D.) in 1922. The friendship between these two men blossomed during their service at the Royal Naval Air Service Station in Kingsnorth, Kent, during the tumultuous years of World War I. The Angel of Victory statue, a symbol of triumph and resilience, stands proudly with outstretched wings, gazing upwards towards the stars, inscribed with the Latin phrase "Per Ardua Ad Astra" - "Through Adversity to the Stars." This inspiring motto reflects the determination and perseverance of the men who served during this challenging time. The friendship between F.C.H. and F.R.E.D. began during their time at the station, which played a significant role in the history of the 1st Great Aeronautical War. The station was a hub of innovation and progress, with pioneering aviators pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the skies. The Angel of Victory statue, a beautiful piece of English School sculpture, serves as a poignant reminder of the camaraderie and resilience that emerged from the trials and tribulations of war. The inscription on the base, "F.C.H. FROM F.R.E.D. 1922-1929," is a testament to the enduring bond between these two men, who shared a unique and unforgettable experience that shaped their lives." This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the Angel of Victory statue, its connection to the friendship between F.C.H. and F.R.E.D., and the broader context of the Royal Naval Air Service Station at Kingsnorth during World War I. It is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure adversity and find meaning and connection in even the most challenging circumstances.
