EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Hyde Park, London, in 1935. The image showcases the meeting between King George V and a group of ex-service men during the review of 20,000 Silver Badge men. Introduced in 1916, the Silver War Badge was an important symbol for sick or wounded servicemen to prove their honorable return to Britain for recovery. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the majestic figure of King George V on horseback, dressed impeccably in his military uniform. He extends his hand towards one of the ex-service men who stands before him respectfully. The atmosphere is filled with respect and gratitude as these brave veterans meet their monarch. The composition highlights not only the significance of this encounter but also the grandeur of Hyde Park itself. Lush greenery surrounds them while horses stand by attentively nearby. This scene represents unity between royalty and commoners as they come together to honor those who sacrificed so much during World War I. The photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown; however, it was included in FGH Salusbury's book "King Emperors Jubilee" published by Daily Express Publications in London. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment when ex-service men were recognized for their bravery and sacrifice by none other than King George V himself.
