EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the First World War. In this portrait, we see King George V of Great Britain and the British Empire dressed in his military uniform as he assumes the role of Colonel-In-Chief for the Lancers regiment of the Indian Army. King George V stands tall and proud, exuding authority and strength. His bearded face is adorned with numerous medals that serve as a testament to his bravery and leadership. A magnificent turban sits atop his head, symbolizing both his position within the British Raj and his deep respect for Indian culture. The image not only showcases an important historical figure but also represents the close relationship between Britain and India during this era. It serves as a reminder of their shared history, intertwined destinies, and mutual sacrifices made on behalf of freedom during times of war. As we gaze upon this print from 1914, we are transported back to a tumultuous period when nations clashed on battlefields across Europe. The photograph encapsulates both the grandeur associated with royalty and the harsh realities faced by soldiers fighting in World War I. Through this powerful visual document created by an unknown artist but preserved by HW Wilson's collection, we gain insight into an extraordinary moment in history – one where duty meets tradition amidst global conflict.
