EDITORS COMMENTS
Double Page Spread from The Sketch: Peers of the Realm Who Answered the Call to Arms in the Early Weeks of the First World War (September 1914) This evocative double page spread from The Sketch magazine captures the patriotic spirit of the British nobility and aristocracy during the early stages of the First World War. The portraits show a distinguished group of Peers of the Realm who had joined the armed forces, including Lord Belper, Earl of Minto, Lord Garlies, Lord Innes-Ker, Lord Clive, Lord Chesham, Lord Carnegie, Lord Petre, and Lord Wellesley. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the upper classes during the conflict. Notable among them are Lord Charles Carnegie, who would later marry Princess Maud of Fife in 1923, and Lord Petre, who tragically lost his life at the Battle of Arras in 1915. The portraits depict the Peers in their military uniforms, reflecting their commitment to the war effort and their sense of duty to their country. The aristocrats, who were often associated with the landed gentry and society, were not immune to the call to arms. This image underscores the idea that the First World War was not just a conflict fought by the working classes or the common soldier, but also by the upper classes and the aristocracy. The double page spread is a powerful testament to the patriotism and sense of service that characterized the British aristocracy during the First World War. It is a reminder of a bygone era when the nobility and the aristocracy played a significant role in the political and social fabric of the country.
