HMS Hood by Robert Taylor.- Battleships - Cruisers .co.uk

HMS Hood by Robert Taylor.


HMS Hood by Robert Taylor.

HMS Hood ablaze after its magazine was hit by a salvo from the DKM Bismark, May 24, 1941

One of the rarest of the early Robert Taylor prints, published in 1980, we have one secondary market print available. The eidition was not numbered. The print is in fair condition, with only a slight crease, and a mark on the border. The colours on the print and the signature have not faded much at all, as the print was kept framed and in a corridor out of sunlight. Fading is normally an issue with these older prints, so it is rare to find one with very good colour.
AMAZING VALUE! - The value of the signatures on this item is in excess of the price of the print itself!

Lieutenant Ted Briggs RN (deceased)
*Signature Value : £80

Albert Edward Pryke Briggs, MBE, was born on 1st March 1923 in Redcar, North Riding of Yorkshire. Joining the Royal Navy in 1938 at the age of 15, Ted completed his initial training on the HMS Ganges. 16 months later he was assigned to the HMS Hood, fulfilling a childhood dream of his. On July 20th 1939, Ted joined the ships company. A little over a month later, Britain went to war with Germany. During the time preceding the epic battle with the Bismarck, the Hood was busy patrolling the Atlantic and escorting various ships. Ted was aboard the Hood when she fell to Bismarck on 24th May 1941. After his survivors leave ended in June, Ted was posted to the HMS Mercury. The remainder of the War found Ted being posted to various other ships of the Royal Navy. Ted remained in the navy after the war and retired on February 2 . 1973. Sadly, Ted Briggs died 4th October 2008, aged 85.
