EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of Lieut. General Sir David Henderson, a British Army officer who made significant contributions to military strategy during the First World War. Born on August 11, 1862, Henderson rose through the ranks to become the leading authority on tactical intelligence in the early 20th century. His expertise in this area was instrumental in the success of the British military during the war. In 1912, Henderson was appointed as the first commander of the Royal Flying Corps in the field. During this time, he played a pivotal role in establishing the Royal Air Force as an independent service. His vision and strategic planning were essential in developing the use of air power in military operations. This photograph, taken by Percival Anderson in 1918, shows Henderson in his full military uniform, adorned with the decorations he had earned throughout his distinguished career. The Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB), Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO), Distinguished Service Order (DSO), and Doctor of Laws (LLD) honors are all prominently displayed on his chest. Henderson's legacy as a military commander and pioneer of tactical intelligence continues to be celebrated in military history.
