EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War, as Prince Edward, later Edward VIII, and his father, King George V, inspect the ruins of a bridge in Peronne, France, in 1917. The scene is one of destruction and devastation, with the bridge's once grand arches now reduced to rubble and debris. The Prince and King are dressed in their military uniforms, signifying their roles as commanders-in-chief of the British Army. They are joined by other military personnel, all surveying the damage caused by the relentless march of war. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict, with the ruins of the bridge symbolizing the shattered lives and communities that resulted from the Great War. The father-son dynamic between the two royals adds an emotional depth to the photograph, highlighting the shared burden of leadership and the weight of responsibility that comes with it. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the world of war-time royalty, and the sacrifices made by those in positions of power during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
