EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an Officer of H.M.'s Bodyguard of Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, taken in 1937 during the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and its armed forces. The Officer, dressed in full regalia, stands tall and proud, exuding an air of authority and honor. The intricately designed military uniform, adorned with epaulettes, plumes, and a helmet, reflects the prestige and importance of his role as a bodyguard to the British Monarch. The uniform's vibrant colors and attention to detail are a nod to the tradition and pageantry that surrounds the British military. The Officer's posture and expression convey a sense of duty and discipline, reminiscent of the long-standing military traditions that have been passed down through generations. The presence of the cigarette card suggests that this photograph was part of a collection, perhaps distributed by John Player & Sons, a tobacco company. Despite the unknown identity of the Officer, the photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of those who served in the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms during the 1930s. The image is a reminder of the important role that military traditions and pageantry continue to play in British culture and history.
