EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures General Sir Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy (1862-1935), during his command of the British Third Army in the pivotal Battle of Cambrai, which took place from November to December 1917. Byng is depicted here in his full military regalia, wearing the distinctive cap badge of the Third Army and the insignia of his temporary rank as a general. The use of surprise tank attacks during this battle marked a significant turning point in the First World War, and Byng's leadership was instrumental in its success. Following the battle, Byng's temporary rank was made permanent in recognition of his achievements. Later in his career, Byng served as the Governor General of Canada in the 1920s. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the history of a remarkable military leader during a time of global conflict.
