EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern yet resolute visage of General Sir Leslie Rundle, a prominent British Army commander during the First World War. Born in 1856 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, Rundle rose through the ranks to become a respected military leader, having previously served in the Second Boer War. By 1915, Rundle had been appointed to command the 1st Cavalry Division, which saw action on the Western Front during the early stages of the First World War. In this image, Rundle is depicted in full military regalia, wearing the insignia of his rank and the distinctive red tabs signifying his command of a cavalry division. His piercing gaze and clenched jaw convey a sense of determination and focus, as if he is preparing for the next battle. The photograph was taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, a leading news organization of the time, and published in their archives. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Rundle and his men during the First World War, as well as the broader military efforts of the British Army during this pivotal period in world history. General Sir Leslie Rundle's leadership and strategic acumen proved invaluable in the face of the formidable challenges posed by the First World War. His legacy as a respected military commander continues to inspire and inform the study of military history and strategy to this day.
