EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1958, Glubb Pasha, the renowned British Commander of the Arab Legion in Jordan, is seen deep in conversation with his son, Faris, as they prepare for the Coronation Parade of His Majesty King Hussein of Jordan. The historic event was scheduled for May 3rd, 1958, and the father-son duo are mounted on Arab steeds, reflecting the deep-rooted connection between the Jordanian people and their proud equestrian heritage. Glubb Pasha, born in 1897 in England, had dedicated his life to the service of the Arab world, leading the Arab Legion with unwavering commitment and dedication since its inception in 1934. His strategic leadership played a pivotal role in maintaining Jordan's stability and security during tumultuous times in the Middle East. As the coronation parade approached, the Commander and his son, who would later become a prominent figure in Jordanian politics, practiced their roles in the grand procession. The image captures a moment of shared determination and pride, as they stand together, united in their commitment to the Jordanian people and the legacy of the Arab Legion. The Arabian steeds, with their noble bearing and graceful movements, symbolize the enduring spirit of the Jordanian people and their rich cultural heritage. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the profound bond between the British Commander, his son, and the land they served, as they prepared for the momentous occasion of King Hussein's coronation.
