EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - H. M. Queen Mary after the Investiture of the 25th August 1915. The image takes us back to Brighton Pavilion during the First World War, when it served as a military hospital. King George V and Queen Mary paid a visit to this solemn place, where wounded Indian officers sought solace and care. In this poignant scene, we see King George V personally decorating ten injured Indian officers and one non-commissioned officer. Their bravery is palpable as they stand tall in their military uniforms, bearing witness to the sacrifices made during war. H. M. Queen Mary stands beside her husband, exuding grace and compassion. Dressed elegantly in her regal attire, she embodies strength and resilience amidst these trying times. The Royal Pavilion serves as an emblematic backdrop for this historic event - its grandeur juxtaposed with the somber reality of war. This royal residence becomes a symbol of hope and healing for those who fought valiantly on behalf of their nation. Through this photograph's monochrome lens, we are transported back to an era that shaped our world today. It reminds us of the courage displayed by soldiers like these Indian officers who fought alongside their British counterparts. As we reflect upon this image from A History of the Royal Pavilion by Henry D. Roberts, we honor all those who have sacrificed for freedom throughout history – reminding ourselves never to forget their unwavering dedication and service.
