EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1940s, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, both active members of the Girl Guides association, prepare to send a special message on "Thinking Day," a day dedicated to the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell and his wife, the founders of the Scout and Guide movements. The sisters, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and wearing their Guiding hats, are seen at Windsor Palace. Princess Elizabeth, who served as a patrol leader in the Buckingham Palace Company, writes the message on a piece of paper, while Princess Margaret holds the pigeon container, ready to release the carrier bird. This method of communication was a common practice among Girl Guides during World War II when other forms of transportation were limited. The message was one of many sent by Girl Guides across the country to Lady Baden-Powell at Guide Headquarters, expressing their loyalty and appreciation for the values instilled in them through the Guiding program. The image captures the spirit of sisterhood, duty, and resilience that defined the Girl Guides during this period.
