Physical Description
Text: WHAT THE NAVY IS DOING - BOMBS FOR THE BOCHES - Here you see the Hun and how he is "strafed". Here you see the lead of depth bombs and what happens when they explode. Our Navy is on the job and Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly [British Royal Navy], under whose command a number of our destroyers operate, said: "I want to express my deep gratitude to the U.S. Officers and ratings for the skill, energy and unfailing good nature which they have constantly shown qualities that have materially assisted the war by enabling the ships of the Allied Powers to cross the ocean in comparative freedom." - THE NAVY PROMOTES MEN OF ABILITY. A CHANCE FOR YOU.
