EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a historic moment in British military history, as recipients of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest military decoration for valor in the face of the enemy, assembled at Buckingham Palace for the King's Garden Party on 26th June 1920. The Victoria Cross recipients, a mix of military personnel in full uniform and civilians in dress attire, march in solemn procession towards the palace, their proud and determined expressions reflecting the bravery and heroism that earned them this esteemed honor. King George V, who is seen seated on the balcony, watches the procession with a sense of pride and admiration, his regal presence adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The lush gardens of Buckingham Palace provide a serene backdrop to this momentous event, as the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The King's Afternoon Party was an annual tradition, but this particular gathering held a special significance as it marked the end of the First World War, making it a poignant and memorable occasion for all involved.
