EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the First World War. Captured in 1939 by Henry D. Roberts, this image showcases H. M. King George V and Queen Mary during their visit to Brighton Pavilion, which was being utilized as a military hospital at the time. The royal couple's presence exudes grace and compassion as they engage with wounded Indian officers and non-commissioned officers who were under their care. The King personally adorned ten of these brave soldiers for their valorous service. Surrounded by lush gardens on the Eastern Lawns, this snapshot immortalizes a poignant meeting between royalty and those who sacrificed so much for their country. The solemn expressions on both the monarchs' faces reflect their deep appreciation for these courageous individuals. Queen Mary's elegant dress adds a touch of regality to the scene while emphasizing her role as an empathetic figurehead alongside her husband, His Majesty King George V. This photograph not only captures a historic event but also serves as a testament to the resilience of those affected by war. It reminds us of our duty to honor and support those who have served in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from over a century ago, it is impossible not to feel moved by its timeless significance.
