EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in British military history as King George V (1865-1936) salutes the 1st Grenadier Guards, with Prince Wales (later King Edward VIII, 1894-1972) in attendance, during their passage in front of Buckingham Palace in 1914. The Grenadier Guards, one of the most prestigious regiments in the British Army, were passing in review before the King to mark the beginning of their mobilization for the First World War (1914-1918). Prince Wales, who was the Lieutenant of the Grenadier Guards, stands proudly alongside his father, displaying his regimental colors. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive scarlet tunics and bearskin hats, return the King's salute with military precision, reflecting their unwavering loyalty and dedication to their monarch and their country. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British military during the Great War, and the unbreakable bond between the monarchy and its armed forces.
