From the solemn oath taken by recruits joining the British Army in 1901, to the historic signing of the Marriage Attestation Deed between Albert Edward and Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, attestation holds a significant place in history. The act of affirming a commitment, whether to military service or matrimony, is a universal human experience. This tradition is reflected in various cultures and eras, from the serene Sukhothai-style Buddha in meditation, to the passionate protests against the Jewish White Paper in the mid-20th century. Each attestation, be it a soldier's card or a royal marriage deed, carries the weight of a promise made and a journey undertaken. #Attestation #History #Military #Marriage #Buddhism #Protests #BritishArmy #RoyalFamily #WW1
