EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from April 1920, the Duke of York, later King George VI (1895-1952), pays a visit to the 20th Battalion of the London Regiment at Blackheath. The future monarch is depicted presenting the Kings Colours to the regiment, an important ceremonial duty that symbolized the connection between the monarchy and the military. Dressed in full military regalia, Prince Albert kneels before the assembled soldiers, his back straight and his gaze steady as he hands over the flag. The soldiers, all smartly dressed in their uniforms, return the Prince's gaze with pride and respect. The scene is set against the backdrop of a lush, green field, with the sun casting long shadows and the sky a clear blue. The presence of photographers and their tripods in the background suggests that this was a carefully orchestrated event, designed to be captured for posterity. The Prince's visit to the London Regiment was part of a wider tour of military units, which saw him travel throughout the country to meet with soldiers and inspect their training. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the etiquette and ceremonial traditions of the early 20th century, as well as the close relationship between the British monarchy and its military forces. The image is also a poignant reminder of Prince Albert's later reign as King George VI, during which he led the country through the challenges of World War II.
