EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Senior league Cricket XI of the Royal Naval Ordnance Department in Plymouth, Devon, back in 1896. The image showcases a group portrait of these distinguished men who were not only skilled military personnel but also passionate sportsmen. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a team of cricket players proudly posing for the camera. Dressed in their formal attire, they exude an air of confidence and camaraderie. Each member holds his weapon - be it an ammunition or cannonball - with pride, symbolizing their dual roles as defenders of the nation and dedicated athletes. The backdrop reveals a field gun, reminding us that these individuals were part of a department responsible for armaments during times of war. This juxtaposition between sport and warfare serves as a reminder that even amidst their serious duties, these men found solace and enjoyment on the cricket pitch. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the vintage charm while emphasizing every detail captured by WM Crockett's lens. As we delve into this historical photograph from The Navy and Army Illustrated publication dated October 16th, 1896, we are transported to an era where Victorian values intertwined with naval warfare. This print is not just a testament to British heritage but also celebrates the spirit of teamwork, dedication to duty, and love for sportsmanship exhibited by these remarkable individuals from England's past.
