EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young and energetic Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, leading the Grenadier Guards in a march outside Buckingham Palace in 1914. The image was taken at the beginning of World War I, a time when the monarchy and the British people rallied together in the face of impending conflict. The Prince of Wales, who would later abdicate the throne in 1936, is seen here in his full military regalia, complete with his distinctive bearskin hat and sash, as he heads the procession of soldiers. The Grenadier Guards, one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments in the British Army, are seen following closely behind their commanding officer. The scene exudes a sense of duty, discipline, and determination, as the soldiers prepare to defend their country and uphold the traditions of the monarchy. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history, as the nation gears up for the Great War.
