EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a momentous occasion during the First World War, as King George V stands on Butte De Warlencourt alongside General Sir Julian Byng. The image, taken on July 12, 1917, showcases the solemnity and gravity of war as the two figures pay their respects at the 6th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry Memorial.
King George V's presence exudes strength and leadership, while General Byng embodies military prowess and determination. Their shared commitment to honoring fallen soldiers is palpable in this poignant scene.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment in time. The stark contrast between light and shadow further enhances the solemn atmosphere surrounding these two influential figures.
