Anne Buffs Chief Colonel Denmark Frederick Husband Oval Ovals Regiment Viii Colonel In Chief
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print features an intriguing oval composition of two esteemed military figures, Prince George of Denmark and King Frederick VIII of Denmark, both of whom held the esteemed position of Colonel-in-Chief of The Buffs, also known as the Royal East Kent Regiment. The Buffs, a renowned British infantry regiment with a rich history, traces its lineage back to the late 17th century. The image on the left showcases Prince George of Denmark (1653-1708), the beloved husband of Queen Anne, who reigned over Great Britain from 1702. Prince George, a Danish nobleman, brought a strong military background to the British monarchy, having served as a colonel in the Danish army before his marriage. His association with The Buffs began in 1689, and he continued to support the regiment until his death in 1708. The figure on the right in this evocative image is King Frederick VIII of Denmark (1843-1912), who assumed the role of Colonel-in-Chief of The Buffs in 1905. King Frederick, the eldest son of Christian IX of Denmark and Norway, was a decorated military leader who had served in the Danish army during the Danish-Prussian War. His military career and connection to The Buffs underscored his commitment to the regiment and its storied legacy. This photograph print, likely taken around 1905, offers a unique glimpse into the history of these two influential figures and their shared connection to The Buffs, a testament to the enduring importance of military tradition and the strong bonds between monarchs and their regiments.
