Titanic Disaster Great Loss of life (sepia) 1912

Perhaps one of the most evocative images of the Titanic disaster is that of the young newsboy outside the White Star Line offices at Oceanic House in Cockspur Street, London, holding an Evening News poster announcing "Titanic Disaster Great Loss of Life".

That boy was Ned Parfett, and his short life was no less spectacular, and his death just as tragic, as that of the Titanic. Six and a half years after this poignant photograph was taken, Ned was killed during a German bombardment while serving with the British army in France, just days before the Armistice. He was 22.
