EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the 7th Duke of Portland, William Arthur Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, in his military uniform as a lieutenant in the Horse Guards during World War I. The Duke, who was styled Marquess of Titchfield until 1943, is pictured on the occasion of his marriage to Ivy Gordon-Lennox, a niece of the Duke of Richmond, in 1915. The Duke's uniform, consisting of khaki jacket and trousers, with a red sash and a forage cap adorned with a plume, signifies his rank and dedication to military service. The aristocratic Duke, born on March 16, 1893, was a British Conservative Party politician and an influential figure in the upper classes of society. His military career began in 1911 when he joined the Horse Guards, and during the war, he was attached to Headquarters Staff. This portrait offers a glimpse into the history of a nobleman who served his country in both political and military capacities during a time of great upheaval and change. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the aristocracy during the First World War.
