EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment in history as Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor), marches with the Grenadier Guards in 1914. Despite his eagerness to see active service, his royal position meant that he was kept behind the lines for protection. The prince's determination to fight is evident in his famous quote, "What does it matter if I am killed? I have four brothers."
Even though he was given an appointment away from the front lines and allowed limited visits to the battlefield, Prince Edward continued to push for permission to join the fight. His unwavering commitment to serve his country shines through in this image.
As we reflect on this historical moment, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who longed to be on the front lines during times of war. The prince's desire for action and bravery against all odds serves as a testament to his character and dedication.
This print is not just a snapshot from history but a window into the heart of a man torn between duty and personal ambition. It encapsulates both the import of royalty and the human desire for purpose and meaning in times of conflict.
