EDITORS COMMENTS
King George V (1865-1936) proudly dons the distinctive uniform of the Grenadier Guards as Colonel-in-Chief in this photograph from the 1920s. The monarch's regal presence is accentuated by the vibrant hues of the iconic British military outfit, adorned with an abundance of blue, red, gold braid, and gleaming medals. The sash slung across his chest, emblazoned with the Grenadier Guards' emblem, adds to his regal aura. King George V's resplendent attire includes a bearskin hat, complete with a plume of white ostrich feathers, and a scarlet tunic with gold buttons and white gloves. The Colonel-in-Chief holds a sword in his right hand, symbolizing his military authority and leadership. Stepping down the stairs of a grand palace or royal residence, the King exudes an air of confidence and determination, reflecting his unwavering commitment to the Grenadier Guards and the British military. This historical image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of British royalty and military history, capturing the essence of a monarch deeply connected to his military duties and the men who served under him. King George V's dedication to the Grenadier Guards began in 1910 when he was appointed Colonel-in-Chief, a position he held until his death in 1936. This photograph serves as a testament to the deep-rooted bond between the British monarchy and its military forces, a bond that continues to endure to this day.
