The image finds the future German monarch (1882-1951) standing attentively among his soldiers, reviewing their ranks during the First World War. At the onset of the conflict, Wilhelm was appointed commander of the 5th Army in August 1914. Despite his personal conviction that the war was senseless and unnecessary, he remained steadfast in his role, leading his troops through the tumultuous battles of the Great War. The image encapsulates the solemnity and gravity of the war time, with Wilhelm's focused gaze and the soldiers' disciplined posture, as they await his inspection with unwavering attention. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal period in history, as the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War.
