1979 Battenberg Forced Forgot Hesse Injustice Mountbatten Off Ice Rank Resign Ultimately Younger Vindication
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lord Louis Mountbatten, the younger son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse, is seen in his naval uniform, proudly displaying his rank as First Sea Lord. Born in 1900, Lord Mountbatten ultimately rose to this prestigious position in the British Royal Navy, a vindication of his father who had been forced to resign from the same office in 1914 due to having a German name. This injustice was a source of deep frustration for Lord Mountbatten, who never forgot the stigma attached to his family's German heritage. The image captures Lord Mountbatten in the prime of his career, around the year 1930. He stands confidently against a plain background, his piercing gaze fixed on the camera lens. The photograph is a testament to his strong character and unwavering determination, despite the challenges he faced growing up. Lord Mountbatten's naval career began in earnest in 1914, when he joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman. He served in both World War I and World War II, and played a key role in the D-Day landings in 1944. His leadership and strategic skills were instrumental in the Allied victory in Europe. Despite his impressive military accomplishments, Lord Mountbatten's life was tragically cut short when he was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979, while on vacation in Ireland. This photograph, taken decades earlier, serves as a poignant reminder of his remarkable career and indomitable spirit. This image is a historical record of Lord Louis Mountbatten's life and achievements, and is an important addition to any collection of maritime or royal history. It is available as a high-quality print from Mary Evans Prints Online.
