EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Queen Mary, accompanied by Prince Albert (later King George VI) and Princess Mary, can be seen inspecting troops near Aldershot, Hampshire, in December 1915. The visit took place during a period when King George V was recuperating from a serious injury sustained while on a visit to the Western Front. In the seventh month of his recuperation, the King had fallen from his horse and broken his pelvis, forcing him to relinquish his duties to his consort. During this time, Queen Mary assumed many war-related duties on behalf of the King, including numerous inspections of troops to boost morale and show support for the British military efforts during World War I. In this image, the Queen and her family members are seen reviewing the troops with great seriousness and determination, their expressions conveying a sense of duty and resolve. The scene is set against a wintry backdrop, with soldiers in their uniforms standing at attention in the snow, creating a stark and evocative contrast. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British monarchy during the war, and the crucial role that Queen Mary played in maintaining the morale of the troops and the nation during a time of great hardship and uncertainty. This photograph, which is part of the Illustrated London News collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the important role that the British monarchy played during World War I. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during a time of great adversity, and serves as an important reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces during the war.
