EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa December 1918, Sir Douglas Haig, Field Marshal of the British Army during the First World War, is warmly received at Dover by Sir Archibald Henry Bodkin, the Recorder of the Borough of Dover. Haig is accompanied by Vice Admiral Sir Roger John Brownlow Keyes, a prominent naval officer who played a significant role in the naval bombardment of Zeebrugge during the war. The trio stands on the dockside, with the white cliffs of Dover looming in the background, as they are greeted by Bodkin, who is dressed in his ceremonial robes and chain of office. Haig, in his full military uniform, and Keyes, in his naval uniform, both wear the bicorn hats that were a symbol of their high rank. The atmosphere is one of celebration and victory, as the three men exchange pleasantries and shake hands, having likely just disembarked from a ship that brought them back to England after the war's end. The smiles on their faces reflect the relief and joy that came with the end of the conflict. The photograph captures a moment of history, as two of Britain's most distinguished military leaders are welcomed back to their homeland by a respected legal figure. The image is a testament to the unity and collaboration between the army and the navy during wartime, as well as the importance of local officials in the reception of returning heroes. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in British military history and is a reminder of the sacrifices and triumphs that marked the end of the First World War.
