The First Victory Match, June 1945 - A Historic Gathering of Royalty and Leaders

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of Wimbledon and the world. In June 1945, after a long hiatus due to World War II, the tournament resumed with great fanfare and symbolism. The image showcases an illustrious group gathered at Centre Court to witness this significant event. In the foreground stands Group Captain Sir Louis Greig, exuding pride as he represents his country's victorious efforts during the war. Flanked by him are two esteemed figures - Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder and Brigadier General EF Koenig - who played crucial roles in leading their respective nations to triumph. The presence of Queen Mary adds regal elegance to this historic gathering. Alongside her is The Duchess of Kent, radiating grace and poise as she supports this momentous celebration of resilience and unity. Also present is Princess Nicholas of Greece, embodying international solidarity amidst challenging times. Their attendance symbolizes not only their love for tennis but also their commitment to rebuilding a better future after years of conflict. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even during tumultuous periods like World War II, sports can bring people together across borders and social classes. It immortalizes an extraordinary chapter in Wimbledon's story when it emerged from darkness into light once again – marking not just victory on the court but also victory over adversity for all humanity.
