EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the First World War, circa 1916, an allegorical image of British patriotism and unity emerges as the archetypal symbol of the British Lion leads his four courageous cubs into the fray. The Lion, personifying the United Kingdom, proudly carries the Union Jack flag, while his cubs, representing the colonial territories of Canada, India, Australia, and South Africa, each donning their respective military uniforms, follow closely behind. The Lion's strong and protective presence embodies the sense of a father figure guiding his children through the trials and tribulations of war. This powerful allegory of unity and shared history resonated deeply with the British people during this pivotal moment in history, as the colonial territories stood shoulder to shoulder with the mother country in the face of adversity. The footsteps of the Dear Old Dad, the British Lion, continue to echo through the annals of time, leaving an indelible mark on the collective memory of the British Empire and its people.
