HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913)
A close-up view of a sailor in working rig holding a piece of plating from the fore inner funnel of HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913). The damage to the plate was caused by splinters from a high explosive shell fired by an Ottoman field gun during the bombardment of the Dardanelles forts on 18 March 1915. This picture was taken on the starboard side of the upper deck roughly abreast 'X' turret barbette.
