EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as H. M. King George V engages in conversation with Sir Walter Lawrence and Mir Dast, V. C. , on the 25th of August 1915. The image is taken after an investiture ceremony held at Brighton Pavilion during the First World War when the royal couple visited the military hospital set up within its walls. In this poignant scene, we witness King George V personally decorating ten wounded Indian officers and one non-commissioned officer for their bravery. It serves as a testament to the courage and sacrifice displayed by these individuals from the British Raj during wartime. The photograph not only showcases historical figures but also provides insight into the attire and fashion of that era. Queen Mary stands elegantly beside her husband, exuding grace and poise in her regal dress. The Royal Pavilion itself serves as a backdrop to this extraordinary encounter, emphasizing its role as a temporary refuge for those affected by war. This monochrome image evokes a sense of nostalgia while reminding us of the resilience shown by both patients and medical staff within these hallowed halls. Preserved through time, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of British history - one where monarchs personally acknowledged acts of valor amidst turmoil.
