Queen Mary of Teck Visits Soldiers at Aldershot in Hampshire, First World War, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the early 20th century, we witness Queen Mary of Teck fulfilling her duty for King George V after his unfortunate accident. The image captures a royal review of troops in training at Aldershot, with the Queen accompanied by Princess Mary and Prince Albert. As the soldiers stand tall and proud, their uniforms perfectly aligned, a motor lorry serves as a saluting base for Her Majesty. In the background, Irish cavalry march past with precision and grace. It is evident that even during wartime, military discipline remains unwavering. This historical moment holds great significance as it showcases Queen Mary's commitment to supporting her husband's role as monarch while he recovers from his injuries sustained on the French front. Despite being unable to attend due to his fall from a horse, King George V's presence is felt through his wife's representation. The photograph not only highlights the strength and resilience of these soldiers but also pays tribute to Queen Mary's dedication to her country during such challenging times. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by both men and women alike during World War I. Preserved within "The Great World War - A History" edited by Frank A Mumby in 1920s London, this image stands as an enduring testament to bravery and unity amidst adversity.
