EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a poignant moment in the annals of the Royal Air Force (RAF) as King George V pens his heartfelt message of thanks and congratulations to the brave men and women who served in the RAF during World War I. The image, dated 11 November 1918, marks the end of the war and the RAF's invaluable contribution to the British war effort. The King, seated at a table adorned with red and black inkwells and a quill pen, carefully signs the message, which acknowledges the "devotion to duty and the courage and gallantry" displayed by the RAF personnel. The message was signed in the presence of the Lord Weir, a member of the Air Council, who stands behind the King, ensuring the authenticity of the document. The photograph is a testament to the deep gratitude and appreciation felt by the British monarchy towards the RAF, which had only been formed in April 1918, yet had proven itself to be an indispensable branch of the military. The RAF's pioneering role in aerial reconnaissance, bombing raids, and air defense had played a crucial part in the Allied victory. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of the RAF during World War I and the enduring bond between the monarchy and the military. The Patricia Aubrey Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the RAF and the pivotal role it played in shaping the course of the war.
