The photograph captures a momentous occasion as Princess Henry of Battenberg, the Governor of the Isle of Wight, presents Colours to the newly formed 3rd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, famously known as the "Fighting Fifth". The ceremony takes place at Parkhurst Barracks on 25th October. This historic event is beautifully documented by an English photographer from the 20th century. In this image, we see Princess Henry standing tall and regal in her ceremonial attire, radiating grace and authority. She holds out the vibrant Colours with pride and reverence towards the battalion before her. The soldiers stand in formation, their faces filled with determination and anticipation for what lies ahead. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated. It symbolizes not only a passing of responsibility but also a deep-rooted connection between royalty and military service.
