Here the king stands in France beside a general named Dubois, a pairing that sets this negative apart from the many Bain News Service views of wartime figures. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards the agency attached to its negatives, so the identification is unverified. King George V made several visits to British forces on the Western Front during the First World War, and news photographers working for agencies like Bain's New York firm were eager to picture such encounters for newspaper readers. Glass negatives of this size were a common format for news photography of the period.
