EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1937, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keyes (1882-1945) proudly stands next to his son, Subaltern Geoffrey Keyes, both dressed in their finest regalia for a presentation at a levee. The image captures the essence of the 1930s, with its formal and ceremonial atmosphere. Sir Roger Keyes, a decorated naval officer, served in both World War I and World War II. He was instrumental in the successful raid on Zeebrugge in 1918, for which he was knighted. His son, Geoffrey, followed in his father's footsteps and joined the military, becoming a subaltern in the Royal Scots Greys. The photograph was taken after Geoffrey's presentation at a levee, an official reception held by a monarch or high-ranking dignitary. The young officer wears the full dress uniform of a subaltern in the Royal Scots Greys, complete with a bearskin hat, scarlet tunic, and silver buttons. His father, in his full admiral's uniform, wears the Order of the Bath star and sash, signifying his knighthood. The image exudes a sense of pride and tradition, with the father and son standing tall and confident, their uniforms gleaming in the light. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the military heritage and family connections that were so important in the 1930s, a time when the British Empire was at the height of its power and influence. This photograph, taken in 1937, is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of a father and son's shared military history, captured in the formal and ceremonial setting of a levee presentation. It is a testament to the enduring bonds of family and tradition that have long been a part of the military experience.
