EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the 12th Earl of Airlie, David Lyulph Gore Wolseley Ogilvy (1893-1968), is seen in full military regalia aboard the HMS Suffolk during its tour to the Far East in the late 1920s. The Earl is flanked by Commander C.B. Simeon and Major General Elles, both dressed in their respective uniforms. The HMS Suffolk, a Royal Navy cruiser launched in 1926 and completed in 1928, provides an impressive backdrop to this grand scene. The Earl of Airlie, a Scottish nobleman, wears the traditional uniform of the Scottish Regiment, complete with a bicorn hat adorned with a feather and a sword at his side. His noble title and aristocratic bearing are evident in his confident posture and regal demeanor. Commander Simeon, in his naval uniform, stands to the left of the Earl, his cap saluting the nobleman in a sign of respect. Major General Elles, in his military uniform, stands to the right, his sword at the ready. The HMS Suffolk, a powerful and elegant vessel, looms in the background, its white hull gleaming in the sunlight. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, as these distinguished gentlemen, representing the best of the British military and nobility, embark on a journey to the Far East. The image is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of a bygone era, a time when titles, uniforms, and ceremonial gestures held great significance. This photograph is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, a window into a time when the British Empire was at its zenith, and the role of the military and nobility was central to the fabric of society.
