Description: | 22.4.15 Mudros Bay, Lemnos. H. Hillier
Looking N.W. by W
image: A view of Mudros Bay in Lemnos, looking North-West by West. Four warships and a transport ship are moored in the
bay, with a village visible on the coastline in the background.
Below the drawing Hillier describes the context in handwritten text: 'Our battleships anchored in Mudros Bay.
Fortunately these don't need "tuning up" for the forthcoming operations, as they are at concert pitch, always. On our own little ship we do the usual "physical jerks" ? exersises in silence, but its very inspiriting to watch the whole personnel of the battleships doing this "double" of "high stepping" around the deck to the music of the ship's band'.
