1. Title: "Buckingham Palace Investiture Pass, 1918: A Glimpse into Post-War Tradition" This evocative photograph captures an original Buckingham Palace Investiture Pass from the year 1918, a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy in the aftermath of World War I. The pass, issued to Derek Keppel, Master of the Household, bears the official crest of Buckingham Palace and the date of November 1918. The 1910s marked a significant period in British history, as the country emerged from the devastating effects of the war. The Investiture of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, an ancient Scottish chivalric order, took place at Buckingham Palace during this time. The ceremony, which dates back to 1430, was an opportunity for the monarch to recognize and honor the loyalty and service of the knights of the realm. The bearer of this pass, Derek Keppel, held a crucial role in the proceedings as the Master of the Household, responsible for overseeing the organization and execution of the elaborate event. The pass granted him access to the palace grounds and the inner sanctum of the ceremony, allowing him to play a pivotal role in this postwar tradition. The intricately printed ticket, with its bold red ink and gold embellishments, reflects the grandeur and formality of the occasion. This rare artifact offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history, providing a window into the ceremonial rituals and traditions that continue to this day.
