EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous occasion of the Presentation of New Colours to the First Battalion of the Irish Guards, which took place in the tranquil grounds of Buckingham Palace in 1913. The Irish Guards, an elite infantry regiment of the British Army, were formed in 1900, primarily comprised of Irish soldiers. The presentation of new colours was an essential part of a regiment's history, symbolizing the continuity of its lineage and tradition. In this image, the newly presented colours are held aloft by a Guardsman, flanked by his comrades, all dressed in their distinctive uniforms adorned with shamrocks. The colours, bearing the regimental badge and the monarch's cypher, are consecrated by the Chaplain-General of the Forces (Rev. Canon W.H.D. Scott) and a Roman Catholic Chaplain (Rev. Father D.J. O'Connor) in a solemn ceremony. The event took place just before the onset of the First World War, which would test the mettle of the Irish Guards and the entire British Army. The presentation of new colours served as a poignant reminder of the regiment's proud heritage and the sacrifices that lay ahead. The image stands as a testament to the rich history of the Irish Guards and the British Army during the WWI era.
