This poignant print captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos of World War One. As casualties poured into the hospital, King George V made it his duty to visit these brave men who had sacrificed so much for their country. In this image, we see His Majesty standing tall and dignified among rows of patients, each bearing the physical scars of battle. The soldiers' faces reflect a mixture of gratitude and admiration as they gaze upon their monarch with reverence. It is a testament to King George's compassion that he took time out from his royal duties to personally connect with those on the front lines.
