EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures Prince Henry, the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, during his training at Eton College Officers Training Corps in 1915. At the tender age of 17, Prince Henry, who would later become the Duke of Gloucester, stands second from the left in the ranks, his young face serious and determined as he marches alongside his fellow cadets. The image provides a rare glimpse into the life of a royal prince during World War I, as he prepared to join the military and contribute to the ongoing conflict. The uniformed boys, all in their crisp and pristine uniforms, drill with military precision, their youthful energy and enthusiasm tempered by the gravity of the historical moment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the younger generation during the Great War, and the role that public schools like Eton played in shaping the future leaders of the nation.
