Photos

3 photos

COX brothers, James and Edwin
This photograph of the Cox brothers, James (left and top) and Edwin, was probably taken between 1916 and 1918 as Edwin had already reached the rank of Sargeant in the Canadian Over-seas Expeditionary Force.

As can be seen, James was a sailor and at the time this photograph was taken, he was serving aboard HMS Challenger

HMS Challenger
HMS Challenger was the nameship of the Challenger class of second class cruisers. She spent most of the First World War on the African stations, taking part in the invasion of the Cameroons and the East Africa campaign. At the start of the war she was part of the 9th Cruiser Squadron, based at Portland. Her duty was to guard against minelayers at the entrance to the Bristol Channel, and also to seize German shipping. During this period she captured the German steamer Ulla Boog, bringing a cargo of pit props from Archangel to South Wales.

In mid-August she was transferred to Admiral de Robeck
