EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the tumultuous period of World War I, as Queen Mary, the beloved consort of King George V, proudly watches over her third son, Prince Henry, at the Royal Military College at Camberley in 1918. The young prince, later to become the Duke of Gloucester, is seen here in his military cadet uniform, immaculately dressed and focused on the sports day activities taking place around him. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the British royal family during the war years, with Queen Mary's supportive presence a testament to her unwavering dedication to her family and the nation. The backdrop of the military college underscores the significance of the armed forces during this time, as countless young men and women answered the call to serve their country in the face of unprecedented global conflict. Prince Henry's military career would span several decades, making him one of the longest-serving members of the British military. His commitment to duty and service was a reflection of the values instilled in him during his formative years at the Royal Military College. This historical portrait, taken in 1918, stands as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination that defined the British people during the First World War and beyond.
