WWI, King George Knighting General Monash, 1918

Caption: "King George Knighting General John Monash, the Commander of the Australian forces. An incident of his Majesty's visit to the front in 1918." George V (June 3, 1865 - January 20, 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India. As a result of WWI, most other European empires fell while the British Empire expanded to its greatest effective extent. Public respect for the king increased during WWI, when he made many visits to the front line, hospitals, factories and dockyards. His reign saw the rise of socialism, communism, fascism, Irish republicanism, and the Indian independence movement, all of which radically changed the political landscape. He was plagued by illness throughout much of his later reign and died in 1936 at the age of 70. General John Monash (June 27, 1865 - October 8, 1931) was a civil engineer who became the Australian military commander in WWI. After the war he worked in prominent civilian positions, and was vice-chancellor of the University of Melbourne from 1923 until his death eight years later at the age of 66.
