EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures His Majesty King Albert I of Belgium (1875-1934) in full military regalia, likely taken around the year 1910. The monarch, who reigned from 1909 until his untimely death in 1934, is depicted here wearing the uniform of the 1st Regiment of Line Infantry, with the sash of the Order of Leopold I draped across his chest. In his right hand, he holds the sword of the regiment, a symbol of his military leadership and commitment to the defense of his kingdom and people. Born Albert Léopold Marie Gustave, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Albert I ascended to the Belgian throne following the abdication of his father, King Leopold II. A highly respected and beloved monarch, Albert I was known for his dedication to the welfare of his subjects and his unwavering commitment to the neutrality of Belgium during the First World War. This image serves as a testament to the king's military prowess and his deep connection to the Belgian people. Albert I's leadership and courage during his reign earned him the respect and admiration of his countrymen, and his legacy continues to be celebrated in Belgian history.
