EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and determined Prince Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, aboard HMS Collingwood in the summer of 1914. At the age of 21, Prince Albert was the only son of King George V old enough for active service, unlike his brother, Prince Edward. In contrast to his brother's protected status, Prince Albert joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman and took part in the historic Battle of Jutland in May 1916, serving as a sub-lieutenant. However, his spells at sea were constantly interrupted by stomach trouble, and in 1917, he underwent an operation for a duodenal ulcer. In 1918, Prince Albert transferred to the newly formed Royal Air Force, marking a significant shift in his military career. This evocative image offers a rare glimpse into the life of a future monarch during a pivotal moment in history, showcasing his courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
