Summary[edit]

Description
English: HRH King George V of Britain (1865-1936) watching the Battle of Pozieres through a telescope. Other officers stand around watching through field glasses. This photograph is likely to have been taken between 23 July and 4 August 1916, the period of the main offensive at Pozieres.

Pozieres was won at the cost of 23,000 Australian lives and was the origin of much understandable criticism and bitterness against the British commander, Sir Hubert de la Poer Gough (1870-1963).
[Original reads: 'The King watching the battle of Pozieres from captured German trenches.']
