EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the pride and dignity of the West Yorkshire Regiment (The Prince of Wales's Own) 5th and 6th Battalions, as they parade in full military regalia in the early 20th century. The image, taken around 1910, showcases the distinctive uniforms of the regiment, adorned with the Prince of Wales's feathers and the Welsh dragon, reflecting their rich history and connection to Wales and the British monarchy. The West Yorkshire Regiment was formed in 1881, through the amalgamation of various local militia and volunteer units. The regiment saw active service in both World Wars, with the 5th and 6th Battalions playing significant roles in various campaigns. The 5th Battalion, also known as the "Pals Battalion," was raised in Leeds in 1914 and saw action on the Western Front, while the 6th Battalion served in Gallipoli and Palestine. This photograph is a testament to the regiment's storied history and the dedication of its soldiers. The men in the image, with their stern expressions and impeccably pressed uniforms, embody the spirit of camaraderie, discipline, and sacrifice that defined the British military during this era. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the West Yorkshire Regiment and the countless others who served in the British armed forces during times of war.
