EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1942, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in Iraq's history. The image captures the opening of the Iraq Parliament, with Prince Abd al-Ilah, the Regent of Iraq at that time, taking center stage. Standing tall and proud, he exudes an air of authority and dignity as he addresses the gathered audience. Dressed in his impressive Iraqi Field Marshals uniform adorned with various prestigious honors and medals, Prince Abd al-Ilah commands attention. His sash proudly displays the Order of al-Rafid-ain while his neck bears the Hashimite chain. Notably, he also wears the Star of the Order of St. Michael and St. George on his chest. Behind him stands Prime Minister General Nuri as-Said, a trusted ally who shares in this historic moment. Together they symbolize strength and unity as they lead their nation towards progress amidst challenging times. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of Iraq's political landscape during World War II but also highlights its rich cultural heritage through traditional attire worn by these esteemed figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be captivated by its historical significance and ponder upon how events unfolded thereafter for both Prince Abd al-Ilah and Iraq itself.
