EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures James Graham, 6th Duke of Montrose (1878-1954), in the midst of the First World War as he served as a commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) near Salonika. The Duke, a Scottish nobleman, politician, and engineer, is seen on the deck of a ship, helping out with the order to coal. The year is 1916, and the backdrop of the image is the vast expanse of the sea, with ships anchored in the distance. The Duke's distinguished military career began during this time, as he left behind his aristocratic life to serve his country in the navy. The image of the Duke in his naval uniform, with a determined look on his face and his sleeves rolled up, speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to the war effort. The First World War marked a significant turning point in the Duke's life, as he was yet to succeed to the Dukedom at this time. The photograph serves as a testament to his courage and leadership qualities, which would later come to define his political career. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the nobility and the upper classes during the war. The Duke's story is a fascinating one, highlighting the intersection of history, society, and the nobility during a time of great upheaval. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who served their country during the First World War.
