EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment during the First World War when King George V and Queen Mary visited the Brighton Pavilion, which was being used as a military hospital. This poignant photograph showcases the monarch's personal involvement in recognizing the bravery of wounded Indian officers. In this historic image, we witness King George V personally decorating ten injured Indian officers and one non-commissioned officer. Their uniforms bear witness to their sacrifice for their country, while the solemn expressions on their faces reflect both pride and pain. As they stand before their sovereign, it is evident that this investiture holds great significance not only for them but also for all those who fought alongside them. The Brighton Pavilion serves as an extraordinary backdrop to this scene of honor and resilience. Its grandeur contrasts with the somber reality of war that these soldiers have experienced firsthand. The visit by King George V symbolizes his commitment to acknowledging the sacrifices made by all those who served in defense of Britain during this tumultuous time. This print from "A History of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton" by Henry D. Roberts allows us to glimpse into a pivotal moment in history where royalty meets heroism amidst adversity. It stands as a testament to courage, duty, and gratitude towards those who selflessly served their nation during World War I.
