Due to the merchant ship's close observation of the naval battle, the news spread quickly.
That afternoon, newspapers from various countries released special editions announcing this victory.
The military's "Merit Newspaper" remained as low-key as ever.
It did not comment much on this battle, only publishing a few pictures of German warships being sunk, taken from both warship and bomber perspectives. Notably, it devoted an entire page to detail and explain the sinking of the battlecruiser "Sedley."
The title read: "Salute to the brave officers and soldiers fighting on the front lines. Your victory is the pride of all French citizens!"
Other newspapers, which had no access to photos, could not even obtain pictures from merchant ships' perspectives.
In those days, it was difficult for ordinary people to own cameras, and taking pictures in such scenarios could be seen as espionage.
