EDITORS COMMENTS
Remembrance Day, 11th November 1920: A Moment of National Unity and Reflection This powerful image captures a poignant moment in British history as twelve of the most distinguished military leaders of the time came together as pall bearers at the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in London. Known as Armistice Day prior to World War Two, this day marked the anniversary of the end of the First World War. From left to right, the twelve war leaders are Sir Hedworth Meux, Earl Beatty, Sir Henry Jackson, General Gatliff (Royal Marines), Sir Charles Madden, Air-Marshal Sir Hugh Trenchard, Lord Methuen, Lord French, Earl Haig, Sir Henry Wilson, Lord Horne, and Lord Byng. These men, representing the highest echelons of the army, navy, air force, and marines, had led their forces through the trials and tribulations of the Great War. The solemn procession took place under grey skies, reflecting the collective sense of loss and mourning felt by the nation. The leaders carried the Unknown Warrior's coffin, symbolizing the countless lives lost during the war. The image encapsulates the spirit of unity and reflection that characterized this significant day in British history. The First World War had brought about unprecedented change and loss, and the Remembrance Day service provided an opportunity for the nation to come together, mourn, and remember the sacrifices made by its heroes. This poignant image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the First World War and the unwavering commitment of those who served their country.
