Image description

This postcard was sent by Francis Cromie to a relative, following his receipt of the bronze Royal Humane Society medal, which he was awarded after he tried to save a sailor who was swept overboard from the submarine HMS A3 at Spithead. Cromie became a celebrated submarine commander in the Baltic during World War One. In 1917, he was appointed naval attache at the British Embassy in Petrograd, and the following year was shot and killed when the Cheka raided the Embassy in the wake of the Lockhart Plot.
