EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history as the Prince of Wales is commissioned into the Grenadier Guards during the outbreak of World War I. The image, taken in August 1914 at Buckingham Palace, showcases the prince proudly carrying the color, symbolizing his commitment to serve his country. Dressed immaculately in his military uniform, adorned with medals and insignias, the prince stands tall against the grandeur of Buckingham Palace's gates. The lighting casts dramatic shadows on his face, emphasizing both determination and solemnity. His firm grip on a weapon reflects not only his readiness for battle but also highlights the weighty responsibility he carries as a member of royalty. Surrounded by fellow soldiers marching alongside him, this portrait encapsulates unity and patriotism during a time of turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder of Britain's resilience and unwavering spirit amidst war. The historical significance of this print is further enhanced by its inclusion in "George V and Edward VIII: A Royal Souvenir" published in 1936 to commemorate King Edward VIII's ascension to the throne following George V's passing. This iconic image immortalizes an important chapter in British history while honoring both royal lineage and military service. Through FGH Salusbury's skilled lens, we are transported back to that fateful day when Prince Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor took up arms for king and country – forever etching himself into our collective memory as one who answered duty's call with unwavering resolve.
