EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is seen inspecting the ranks of the 2nd Battalion Nigeria Regiment during her visit to the country on January 29, 1956. The Queen, dressed in a elegant coat and hat, exudes an air of regal composure as she reviews the soldiers with a stern yet compassionate gaze. The Nigerian soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and bearing the insignia of the regiment, return her gaze with pride and respect. This image captures a significant moment in the history of the Nigerian military and the relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The 2nd Battalion Nigeria Regiment was part of the Nigerian Military Forces, which was established in 1956, just a year before Nigeria gained its independence from British rule. After the Queen's visit, the regiment was renamed the Queen's Own Nigeria Regiment in her honor. The photograph is part of an album of 141 photographs and ephemera from the Depot, Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridges Own), which documents the period between 1947 and 1957. The album provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the regiment and the changing political landscape of Nigeria during that time. The image is a poignant reminder of the close ties between Nigeria and the United Kingdom during the colonial era and the enduring respect and admiration that the Nigerian people have for the monarchy. It is a powerful symbol of the military tradition and the role that the monarchy continues to play in the lives of people around the world.
