The King's Visit to the Grand Fleet, First World War, June 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the early 20th century, we witness a momentous event during the First World War. The image showcases bluejackets, brave sailors of the Royal Navy, marching past His Majesty King George V on board one of the battleships at Scapa Flow off the north coast of Scotland. It was an extraordinary occasion as George's son Prince Albert (later known as King George VI) served on board HMS Malaya at that time. The photograph is part of "The Great World War: A History". Volume VII edited by Frank A Mumby and published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London around 1920. Its historical significance lies not only in capturing a rare glimpse into naval operations during wartime but also in depicting key figures such as Admiral David Beatty and Duke of York (later King George VI). This image transports us back to an era filled with courage, sacrifice, and unity. It symbolizes the resilience and determination displayed by both military personnel and their leaders during a tumultuous period in history. As we reflect upon this powerful snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom and honor their unwavering commitment to protecting our nation's shores.
