EDITORS COMMENTS
King George V at the Somme, northern France, First World War, c1916, (c1920). In this powerful print captured during his visit to the Somme battlefield, King George V of Great Britain is seen walking amidst the devastating aftermath of war. The image portrays a solemn moment as His Majesty passes between two large mine craters near Mametz. The significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of the monarch's firsthand encounter with the brutal reality faced by British soldiers on the front lines. With a backdrop of destruction and desolation, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men who fought for their country. This historic snapshot was featured in 'The Great World War: A History', Volume VI edited by Frank A Mumby. Its inclusion in this comprehensive account underscores its importance as an enduring symbol of remembrance and documentation. Although taken during one of humanity's darkest periods, there is also a sense of resilience and determination emanating from King George V himself. As he gazes upon the scars left by battle, we can only imagine his thoughts and emotions regarding those who served under him. Preserved through time and brought to light once again through this print from Heritage Images, it stands as a testament to both human courage and the lasting impact that war has on nations.
