EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on Anzac Day, April 25, 1927, in Melbourne, Australia, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are seen inspecting the Guard of Honor during their six-month tour of the British Empire. This was the couple's first major official duty overseas and was regarded as a great success. The Duke and Duchess are dressed in their formal attire, with the Duke wearing his full military uniform, as they pay their respects to the ex-servicemen of the First World War. Sir John Monash, an Australian military leader and a key figure in the Anzac Day commemorations, led the procession of over 26,000 ex-soldiers who marched past the royal couple. The Anzac Day commemoration holds significant historical importance, as it marks the anniversary of the landing of the First Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli in 1915. The day is now observed as a national day of remembrance for the sacrifices made by Australian and New Zealand soldiers during war. This photograph is a testament to the strong ties between Australia and the British Empire during the colonial era. The Duke and Duchess's visit was an expression of imperialism and colonialism, as well as a demonstration of the commonwealth's commitment to commemorating the sacrifices made by its soldiers. The image of the Duke inspecting the Guard of Honor is a powerful symbol of respect and gratitude for the bravery and sacrifices of the Anzac soldiers.
