1. Title: "A Hero's Act: K.W. Watson Receives the Royal Life Saving Society Medal for a Daring Rescue in August 1925" 2. Description: This photograph features K.W. Watson proudly holding the Medal of the Royal Life Saving Society, an esteemed award established in 1891. The image is set against the backdrop of a daring water rescue, with two figures in the water, showcasing the society's humanitarian mission in action. The reverse side of the medal bears the Latin inscription, "Quemcunque Miserum Videris Hominem Scias," which translates to "Whomsoever you may see in distress, know him to be a man." This profound motto encapsulates the philosophy of the Royal Life Saving Society, emphasizing the importance of compassion and the fundamental humanity of those in need. The scene unfolds in the summer of 1925, during the Victorian era's twilight, a time when the society's impact was felt deeply in communities across the globe. 3. Context: The Royal Life Saving Society was founded in 1891 to promote water safety and rescue skills.

Watson is celebrated for his heroic actions in August 1925, as he bravely saved the lives of two individuals in distress.
