EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of military history as His Majesty King George V invests 2nd Lieutenant C.L. Cox of the 150th Field Company, Royal Engineers, with the prestigious Victoria Cross at the 2nd Army Headquarters in Blendecques, France, in August 1918. The Victoria Cross is the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy in the British military, and this award was a testament to the exceptional bravery and merit of Lieutenant Cox. The scene is set against a backdrop of a makeshift tented camp, with the King, resplendent in his military uniform, seated on a chair, his regal presence commanding the room. Lieutenant Cox, dressed in his military attire, stands proudly before him, a look of humility and gratitude etched on his face as he receives the Victoria Cross from the monarch's hands. The medal, with its distinctive Maltese cross design, gleams in the soft light of the tent, symbolizing the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a soldier. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the heroism and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Great War, and the historical significance of the Victoria Cross as a symbol of military merit and valor. The investiture ceremony took place at the 2nd Army Headquarters in Blendecques, a small town in northern France, which was a significant military hub during World War I. The image captures the solemnity and gravity of the occasion, making it a valuable historical document and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
