G. Armstrong Whitworth. He worked closely with Alfred Francis Blakeney Carpenter, often from his sketches, to produce five drawings for The Blocking of Zeebrugge by Captain Carpenter V.C. (London: Herbert Jenkins, 1925). Captain Alfred Francis Blakeney Carpenter, VC (1881-1955) was a Royal Navy officer, who, on the night of the 22nd April 1918, was in command of HMS Vindictive. When the "Vindictive" was within a few yards of the mole at Zeebrugge it came under heavy fire. Carpenter supervised the landing from the "Vindictive" onto the mole, and directed operations on deck, encouraging his men in the most dangerous and exposed positions. For these actions he was selected by his fellow officers and men to receive the Victoria Cross.
