EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when the Right Reverend Arthur Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London, donned a military uniform for the first time in 1946. Winnington-Ingram, who was born on February 14, 1858, was an esteemed clergyman and military chaplain, having served in the British Army during the Second Boer War. The image showcases the Bishop in full regalia, adorned with various insignia and decorations, including the Cross of a Commander of the Order of the Bath (CB) and the Star of the Order of the Indian Empire (OBE). The military uniform, with its intricate details and rich history, adds an air of authority and dignity to the Bishop's presence. The photograph is a testament to the unique intersection of religion and military service in the life of this remarkable man. Winnington-Ingram's military career began in 1878 when he joined the Royal Artillery as a second lieutenant. He later served as a chaplain during the Second Boer War, where he was mentioned in dispatches for his bravery and dedication to the spiritual wellbeing of his soldiers. After leaving the military, Winnington-Ingram pursued a career in the Church, eventually becoming the Bishop of London in 1925. His military background and experiences undoubtedly influenced his leadership style and approach to ministry, making him a respected and influential figure in both the religious and military communities. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the life of a man who embodied the spirit of service and dedication to both his faith and his country. It is a reminder of the rich history that connects the Church and the military, and the enduring impact of individual lives on history.
