EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Angus Buchanan, a gallant soldier and hero of the First World War, is seen receiving the Victoria Cross and Military Medal from King George V at the Bristol Investiture in 1917. The historic moment took place following Captain Buchanan's bravery in Mesopotamia, where he was blinded in action. Dressed in his military uniform, the captain is led to the platform with the assistance of others, his eyes covered with a cloth. The King, dressed in his regal robes and adorned with the insignia of his office, pins the prestigious medals onto the chest of the deserving recipient. The Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy, is bestowed upon Captain Buchanan for his exceptional courage and leadership during the war. The Military Medal, another esteemed honor, recognizes his acts of gallantry and devotion to duty. This poignant image captures the spirit of sacrifice and bravery that defined the First World War, and serves as a reminder of the extraordinary feats of valor displayed by soldiers like Captain Angus Buchanan.
