EDITORS COMMENTS
HRH Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942) is depicted in this stunning photograph from around 1910, wearing the uniform of a Canadian military officer with pride. As a member of the British and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha royal family, Prince Arthur was the son of Queen Victoria and held the titles of Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, and Duke of Sussex. During the early 1910s, Prince Arthur served a significant role as the Governor General of Canada, representing the British monarchy in the Dominion. His tenure was marked by various visits across the country, promoting unity and strengthening the bond between Canada and the United Kingdom. The Duke's distinguished military career began in the British Army, where he rose to the rank of Major-General. He later became the first Canadian to command a British Army corps during the Second Boer War. Prince Arthur's military decorations include the Star of India, the Order of the Bath, and the Order of St. Stanislaus. In this photograph, the Duke's moustache and stern expression convey a sense of authority and determination. The intricate details of his uniform, adorned with various medals and insignia, highlight his dedication to his military service and his role as a respected leader within the royal family and the Commonwealth.
