EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the dignified presence of Captain I U Battye, a member of the Queens Own Corps of Guides Cavalry in 1911. The image was taken by Langfier Ltd. , a renowned photography company active from 1899 to 1941. Captain Ivan Urmston Battye had an impressive military career, having been commissioned into the Guides regiment in 1895. His family had a long-standing association with the regiment, adding to his sense of duty and commitment. Although he primarily served on regimental duties throughout his career, he also held the esteemed position of Commandant at the Small Arms School in Pachmarhi for a period. This particular photograph is part of an album containing 284 portraits capturing British and Indian Officers who attended King George V and Queen Mary's coronation ceremony in 1911. It provides us with a glimpse into this significant event that marked an important milestone for both Britain and its Indian contingent. Now housed at the National Army Museum in London, this portrait showcases Captain Battye's distinguished appearance as he dons his ceremonial attire. The attention to detail captured by Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistry behind early twentieth-century photography. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Captain Battye's dedication to service and his contribution to British military history during this momentous era.
