EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the distinguished visage and military bearing of Field Marshal Frederick Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts (1832-1914), a renowned British Victorian era general who rose to become one of the most successful military commanders of his time. Taken in 1913, the year before his death, the image finds Roberts in full uniform, adorned with an impressive array of medals and decorations earned throughout his illustrious career. Born in India, Roberts joined the British Army at a young age and quickly rose through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional leadership and strategic acumen. He served in numerous campaigns, including the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the Second Anglo-Burmese War, and the Second Boer War, where he gained fame for his decisive victories and humane treatment of prisoners. Roberts was not only a brilliant military commander but also a respected spokesman for the British Army and a dedicated citizen-soldier. He was a staunch advocate for military reform and modernization, and his campaigns helped shape the British military into a formidable force. In his later years, he continued to serve his country as a campaigner for various causes, including the National Service League and the Territorial Army. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Roberts' remarkable military career and his enduring legacy as a champion of service and duty to country.
