EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa December 1918, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and Vice Admiral Sir Roger John Brownlow Keyes are seen inspecting a Royal Navy guard of honour upon their arrival at Dover, Kent. Both military leaders, dressed in their full uniforms, stand with proud posture and smiling faces, reflecting the joy and relief that came with the end of the First World War. Haig, wearing his field marshal's uniform complete with a sam Browne belt and a peaked cap adorned with a General's star, was the British Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the war. He is famously known for his role in the Battle of the Somme and the final victory at Mons in 1918. Keyes, a naval officer, is seen wearing an overcoat and a cap with the insignia of a Vice Admiral. He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Dover Patrol during the war, responsible for the protection of the English Channel and the North Sea. The soldiers of the Royal Navy guard, standing at attention, present their rifles in a crisp and disciplined manner, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The image captures the spirit of unity and camaraderie between the army and the navy, both of which played crucial roles in securing the victory for the Allied forces. The arrival of Haig and Keyes at Dover marked the culmination of their military careers, as they had led their troops to victory and were now returning home to a hero's welcome. The photograph is a testament to the sacrifices and achievements of the British military during the First World War, as well as the enduring bond between the army and the navy.
