Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Haig greeting Queen Alexandra, London, 19 December 1918. This photograph shows Field Marshal ( Earl) Haig (1861-1928) and two other officers sitting in an open horse-drawn carriage in London. Haig is leaning down to shake hands with a women identified in the caption as Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), the widow of King Edward VII of Britain (1841-1910). The photograph was probably taken on 19 December 1918, when the generals paraded through London. A second photograph of this event is titled 'Parade through London'.

Queen Alexandra had been involved in the foundation of the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Service in 1902 and remained its president until her death.
