EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the stoic and resolute visage of General Lord Gort, 6th Viscount Gort, OM, GCVO, DSO, KCB (1886-1946), as he stands at attention in his full military regalia as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in 1939. With the looming threat of World War II on the horizon, Lord Gort's leadership and experience were crucial in preparing the BEF for the impending conflict. Born as John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereker, Lord Gort was a decorated military officer, having been awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry during the First World War in 1918. His distinguished military career continued into the Second World War, where he held various positions, including Commander-in-Chief of the Home Forces, and Chief of the Imperial General Staff. Lord Gort's uniform in this photograph is adorned with numerous decorations, including the Order of Merit, the Royal Victorian Order, the Distinguished Service Order, and the Companion of the Order of the Bath. These honors testify to his exceptional service and dedication to his country. As the Commander-in-Chief of the BEF, Lord Gort played a pivotal role in the early stages of World War II, leading the British forces in France until their evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940. Despite the eventual defeat of the BEF, Lord Gort's leadership and determination were instrumental in saving thousands of lives during the evacuation. This powerful image of Lord Gort, taken in 1939, encapsulates the gravity and importance of the impending conflict and the unwavering commitment of the British military to defend their country.
