Insect class gunboat firing her guns on the Tigris
Here we see an Insect class gunboat firing her guns in action on the Tigris, during the Mesopotamian campaign of the First World War. Four of the class, Gnat, Mantis, Moth and Tarantula, served on the Tigris, but it isn't clear which one this was. Some online sources identify her as the Fly clas gunboat HMS Firefly, but she only had one funnel.
