EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the First World War, showcasing the compassionate side of King George V. In March 1918, the monarch is depicted alongside a wounded soldier from the 7th Battalion Sherwood Foresters. The image exudes empathy as King George V cradles the injured soldier in his arms, symbolizing both comfort and support. The photograph was later featured in "George V and Edward VIII, A Royal Souvenir" a commemorative book published in 1936 following King George V's passing and Edward VIII's ascension to the throne. FGH Salusbury skillfully captured this powerful scene that showcases not only the king's regal presence but also his genuine concern for those who fought on behalf of their country. Dressed in military attire with jodhpurs and headgear, King George V stands tall as he provides solace to one of his brave soldiers. The image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of war. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it reminds us of the profound impact that leaders can have when they show compassion towards their people. This photograph encapsulates both bravery and humanity – qualities that define true leadership even amidst turmoil.
