Sub Lieutenant Bowen standing by the quaterdeck hatchway on board HMS 'Aurora' (1913)
A smiling Sub Lieutenant John H. Bowen leaning on a walking cane at the top of the quarterdeck hatchway between the after 6 inch gun and the blast screen. The photographer was standing near the breech of the 6 inch gun looking towards the port side accommodation ladder.
On 19 April Aurora left Harwich for Sheerness and then Chatham Dockyard, where she was refitted, returning on 4 May 1916. This photograph is most likely to Harwich due to the landscape in the background.
