Original press photograph of King George V with General Sir Henry Rawlinson (c.WWI)
Rawlinson was a senior British Army officer in the First World War who commanded the Fourth Army of the British Expeditionary Force at the battles of the Somme (1916) and Amiens (1918) as well as the breaking of the Hindenburg Line (1918). He commanded the Indian Army from 1920 to 1925.
This sort of official occasion would have been intended to cement the sometimes strained relationships of the Allied commanders. George V was aware of the potential difficulties of his close ties with the German royal family. In 1917 he changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the more English-sounding 'Windsor'.
