EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener (1850-1916), a prominent British army officer and statesman, is depicted in this striking photograph from the early 1910s. Kitchener, who served as Secretary of State for War at the beginning of the First World War, is shown here in full ceremonial dress, complete with an impressive array of medals and braid adorning his uniform. The man who would become known as the 'Saviour of the Sudan' and 'Lord Kitchener's Army' wears a confident expression, his hands resting at his sides, clad in white gloves. The image captures the essence of a military leader at the height of his power and influence. Kitchener's tenure as War Secretary saw the rapid expansion of the British Army in preparation for the impending conflict, with the implementation of the 'Kitchener Scheme' resulting in the enlistment of over 1 million volunteers. This photograph serves as a testament to Kitchener's military prowess and his crucial role in shaping the British response to the First World War.
