EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Lord Aew Gleichen in Military Uniform, VF1898" This evocative photograph captures Lord Albert Edward Wilfred Gleichen (1870-1956) in his full military regalia, showcasing his proud and distinguished bearing. The image, taken in the late 19th century, reveals Lord Gleichen wearing the iconic bearskin hat, white gloves, and an overcoat adorned with numerous military buttons. Lord Albert Edward Wilfred Gleichen was a British soldier and traveler, born into the noble Gleichen family. He served in the British Army, reaching the rank of Major, and was a decorated soldier, having been awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for his gallantry during the Second Boer War. The photograph's composition highlights the intricate details of Lord Gleichen's uniform, with the crisp folds of his overcoat, the gleaming buttons, and the meticulously tied cravat all contributing to an air of elegance and military precision. The image also provides a glimpse into the history of the British military during the late Victorian era, a time of great expansion and imperial power. Despite his military background, Lord Gleichen was also an accomplished traveler, having explored various parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. This photograph, therefore, encapsulates the dual nature of his identity - that of a soldier and an adventurer. The photograph's timeless quality and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a unique insight into the life of a British nobleman and soldier during the late 19th century.
