In this photograph, we witness a true hero of the sea - Coxswain Robert Cross. The image captures a momentous occasion as the Royal National Life Boat Institution recognizes his gallantry by decorating him with a bar to the silver medal he was awarded in 1915. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to the early twentieth century between the wars. Coxswain Cross stands tall and proud, embodying bravery and resilience that defined lifeboatmen during this era. His weathered face tells tales of countless battles fought against treacherous waves and unforgiving storms. We can only imagine the countless lives he has saved throughout his career as a lifeboatman. This print serves as a powerful reminder of those who risk their lives selflessly for others at sea. It is a testament to their unwavering dedication and commitment to preserving human life amidst perilous conditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us honor not just Coxswain Robert Cross but all gallant lifeboatmen who have fearlessly sailed into danger's path to rescue those in need. Their courage is etched forever in history, reminding us that heroes exist even in our darkest moments.
