    World War I Era Portrait of General Philip Chetwode

    $19.95

    This photograph features General Sir Philip Chetwode, a prominent British Army officer known for his leadership during World War I. Born in 1869, Chetwode played a significant role in various military campaigns, particularly in the Middle Eastern theater. He was instrumental in the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule, working closely with figures like T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia. Chetwodes strategic prowess contributed to the eventual capture of Jerusalem in December 1917.

    The image is captured on a glass negative, a format commonly used in photography during the early 20th century. This method allowed for high-quality images and was often favored by photojournalists like those at Bain News Service, who documented important historical figures and events. The timeframe of the photograph, likely taken between 1910 and 1915, coincides with Chetwodes rise in military prominence, marking the years leading into the global conflict that would transform nations and reshape borders. Chetwode eventually rose to the rank of General and was recognized for his contributions with various honors, underscoring his impact on military history during a pivotal time.
