EDITORS COMMENTS
The Duke of Westminster, c1916, (c1920). Creator: Unknown This print captures the resolute gaze of British officer Hugh Grosvenor, the 2nd Duke of Westminster (1879-1953), who played a pivotal role in the First World War. Leading armoured cars and ambulances, he embarked on a daring 120-mile dash across the treacherous Libyan desert to rescue British sailors held captive during the Senussi Campaign. Awarded with the prestigious Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for his exceptional services in this operation, The Duke of Westminster epitomizes bravery and selflessness. His unwavering commitment to duty shines through as he stands tall in his military dress uniform. This remarkable portrait is featured in "The Great World War: A History", Volume V edited by Frank A Mumby. Published around 1920 by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd. , London, it serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by individuals like The Duke of Westminster during one of history's most devastating conflicts. With its black and white composition adding an air of timelessness and gravitas to this image, we are transported back to an era when courage was tested on battlefields far from home. This photograph not only honors The Duke's noble lineage but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly for their country during this tumultuous period. As we contemplate this striking portrait today, let us remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedom and reflect upon their enduring legacy.
