EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the grand Opening of Parliament Procession of 1918, an event of significant importance in the aftermath of the First World War. In the third carriage of the procession, we find a distinguished group of British military and naval leaders. On the left, Admiral Rosslyn Wemyss, First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, stands proudly, his uniform adorned with numerous decorations and insignia. Next to him is General Sir William Robertson, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, who played a pivotal role in the strategic planning and direction of the British military effort during the war. Seated in the third row, we see Admiral Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, a naval officer who had served in the Mediterranean Fleet and later became the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth. To his right is Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Frederick Ponsonby, who had served as the Military Secretary to King George V and later became the Master of Household to King George VI. The Opening of Parliament was an essential ceremony in the political life of the country, and this procession marked the beginning of a new session, during which important legislation would be debated and passed. The presence of these esteemed military leaders underscores the critical role the armed forces played in the nation's recovery from the devastating effects of the war. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history, providing a window into the people and events that shaped the country during a time of great change and uncertainty.
