EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of jubilation and relief as the British S-class submarine HMS Storm returns to the United Kingdom after an eventful and highly successful commission in the Far East during World War II. The brave men of Storm, known as Men Hen, are seen celebrating their safe return in the forecastle of their ship. During her time in service, HMS Storm achieved remarkable feats, including a daring raid on the Japanese-held harbour of Port Oren. With unwavering determination, she sunk an impressive total of 20 Japanese supply vessels - 19 by gunfire alone - along with one destroyer and four patrol or escort vessels. One particular operation stands out where she single-handedly sank eleven supply ships, nine of them within a single day. As this photograph was taken in April 1945, it serves as a poignant reminder that victory is near for these courageous sailors who have endured countless dangers at sea. Their expressions radiate joy and camaraderie amidst the backdrop of warships and military equipment. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints, this image encapsulates not only the bravery exhibited by these servicemen but also pays homage to all those who fought valiantly during World War II. It serves as a powerful testament to their sacrifices made for freedom and peace.
