Royal couples at public religious observances were a common subject for news photographers during the First World War, and this picture shows King George V and Queen Mary at an Intercession Day, a day of prayer set aside to ask for victory and for those serving at the front. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers, made the image on a small glass negative. The title comes from its caption cards and is unverified, so the exact occasion and date are uncertain.
