| Description | Prince Alexander of Teck visits the Western Front, during World War I. This image shows Prince Alexander of Teck with an army staff officer. They are possibly standing waiting for a ceremony or march past to begin. Behind them, in the distance, there appears to be an army band playing. Royal visits were seen as an important way of boosting morale. Scenes such as this were commonly used as propaganda, intended to strengthen bonds of comradeship and provide reassurance to those at home. [Original reads: 'KING OF THE BELGIANS VISITS THE WESTERN FRONT - Prince Alexander of Teck and an army staff officer.'] |
