Deux Grands Morts; Lord Kitchener Photographed on His Last Voyage to France... (1916) - An Unknown Photograph from
EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" (L'Illustration, Paris, 1924) This haunting photograph, titled "Deux Grands Morts; Lord Kitchener Photographied on His Last Voyage to France...," captures the enigmatic image of Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener, a prominent British statesman and military leader, dressed in his full military regalia, seemingly gazing out into the vast expanse of the sea. The photograph, taken in 1924, is a poignant reminder of the tragic end of Lord Kitchener's life. On June 5, 1916, Lord Kitchener, then serving as the Secretary of State for War, was traveling to Russia aboard the HMS Hampshire when the ship was sunk in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. The disaster resulted in the loss of Kitchener's life, along with all other passengers and crew members, leaving no survivors to explain the circumstances of his death or provide any final moments of the great British leader. The photograph, which is part of the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" collection published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, is a poignant tribute to Lord Kitchener's legacy. Dressed in his military uniform, complete with a campaign cap and a headdress adorned with feathers, Kitchener's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve that defined his military career. The photograph, which is both black and white and evocative of the early 20th century, is a testament to the enduring impact of Lord Kitchener's life and his significant contributions to British politics and military history. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the indelible mark left by those who gave their lives in service to their country.
