EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber and determined expressions of the British political elite gathered in the New War Ministry following the resignation of Prime Minister Herbert Asquith on 4 December 1916. At the center of the image, Prime Minister David Lloyd George stands resolute, surrounded by his cabinet members, all of whom played crucial roles in the ongoing First World War effort. Top left, Lord Curzon, Lord President of the Council, looks intently at the camera. Above him, Mr A. Henderson, Minister without Portfolio, gazes off into the distance. Top right, Lord Milner, also without portfolio, shares a serious expression with the viewer. In the second row, from left to right, we find Lord Devonport, Food Controller, Dr. Addison, Minister of Munitions, Lord Derby, Secretary for War, Lord Rhondda, Local Government Board, Sir Albert Stanley, President of the Board of Trade. In the bottom row, Sir George Cave, Home Secretary, Sir Edward Carson, First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockade, and Sir Robert Finlay, Lord Chancellor, all display a sense of gravity and purpose. The New War Ministry was a pivotal moment in British political history, as the country faced the challenges of a prolonged and costly war. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the government during this critical period, providing a fascinating window into the faces and personalities of the individuals who shaped the course of the war and the future of the nation.
