EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on August 7, 1914, Lord Kitchener makes his first public appearance as the new Secretary for War, following his appointment by King George V during the early stages of World War I. The image captures Lord Kitchener descending the steps of the War Office in London, accompanied only by Mr. F.E. Smith, MP, who served as the Chief of the newly established Press Bureau. Lord Kitchener, a renowned military leader and statesman, had previously gained fame for his role in the Sudan Campaign and the Boer War. His appointment as Secretary for War came at a critical moment in the war's history, as the British military was facing the challenge of mobilizing its forces to counter the German invasion of Belgium and the subsequent advance into France. The photograph shows Lord Kitchener wearing a light-coloured top hat, which was a common accessory for formal occasions and public appearances during that era. Mr. F.E. Smith, who was instrumental in managing the press during the war, can be seen standing at the bottom of the steps, engaged in conversation with Lord Kitchener. The image of Lord Kitchener's first public appearance as Secretary for War is a significant one, as it marks the beginning of his tenure in a role that would ultimately define his legacy as a key figure in British military history. The photograph provides a glimpse into the early days of the war and the critical role that the British government and its leaders played in shaping the course of the conflict.
