Army Officer Dress Uniform Kilt Policeman Salute Scottish Sporran Honoured
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion at Buckingham Palace - the investiture of Lt Colonel W J B Tweedie from the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders. Decorated with CMG (Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George) and CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire), Lt Colonel Tweedie stands tall in his immaculate dress uniform, representing both his Scottish heritage and military prowess. The image, taken on 22 February 1923, showcases a snapshot from the vibrant era of the 1920s. Lt Colonel Tweedie's kilt adds a touch of tradition to this otherwise monochrome scene, while his sporran completes his distinguished ensemble. Standing beside him is an attentive policeman offering a salute, symbolizing respect for this esteemed army officer. Preserved by Central News through their Europeana photography collection, this photograph not only documents an individual being honored but also represents an era when such ceremonies held great significance. The attention to detail in capturing this historic moment is evident as every element within the frame tells its own story. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness Lt Colonel W J B Tweedie's proud moment at Buckingham Palace – forever immortalized through TopFoto's exceptional archival work.
