EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of triumph and valor amidst the chaos of war. This powerful lithograph by Henry A. Payne depicts the British Navy ship, The Vindictive, as it retreats from its successful mission during the Raid on Zeebrugge on April 22nd, 1918. The image showcases the aftermath of an explosive battle that aimed to block German submarines and navy from seeking shelter in Zeebrugge's harbor. As smoke billows in the background and debris litters the water, The Vindictive emerges victorious but battered from its valiant efforts. At center stage is Albert McKenzie, who earned a Victoria Cross for his bravery during this operation. His heroic actions are symbolized by his presence on deck as he overlooks both his comrades and scuttled ships that now serve as barriers against enemy forces. This print not only commemorates a significant event in naval history but also serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and determination exhibited by all armed forces during World War I. It encapsulates their unwavering commitment to protect their nation against formidable adversaries. As we gaze upon this artwork today, let us remember those who fought bravely for our freedom and honor their legacy with gratitude. "The Vindictive Retiring from the Mole After the Great Achievement" stands as a testament to human resilience in times of conflict and reminds
