EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard print showcases a young and dashing Prince George, later King George V, in his military uniform as the Duke of Wales. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures the essence of the Prince's regal presence and his dedication to the British military. The image is adorned with an impressive array of medals, each one a testament to his military accomplishments and service. Prince George, born on June 3, 1865, was the eldest son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. He was educated at home and in the military, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both of whom served as Prince Consort and King, respectively. Prince George's military career began at an early age, and he held various military appointments throughout his life. The photograph was taken during a time of great change in British history. The Victorian era was coming to an end, and the world was on the brink of the 20th century. The Boer Wars, which began in 1880, marked the end of the era of British military dominance and the beginning of a new era of imperial challenges. Prince George, as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, played a significant role in leading the British forces during the Second Boer War. This postcard print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a young and dynamic Prince of Wales, who would go on to become King George V in 1910. The medals on his uniform serve as a reminder of his military accomplishments and his dedication to serving his country. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the important role that military service played in shaping the country's history.
