Prince George and war ambulance
Prince George, later Duke of Kent (1902-1942), fourth son of King George V and Queen Mary, in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace with Mr Hansell, his tutor (second right) and representatives of The Childrens Story of the War and of the Belgian Field Hospital, 26 January 1916. The Childrens Story was a weekly magazine which sought to explain the campaigns of the war to British children and to find war projects in which they could become involved. Readers were invited to subscribe to a new motor ambulance for the Belgian Field Hospital, and Queen Mary gave permission for her fourteen-year-old son to give his name to the appeal and to be listed as a subcriber. The official handover, shown here, was his first public engagement: readers were told he spent a full half-hour in examining the motor ambulance and the hand ambulance which accompanied it, and was highly pleased with all that he saw

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a significant moment in the life of Prince George, later Duke of Kent, as he stands in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace alongside his tutor Mr. Hansell and representatives from The Children's Story of the War and the Belgian Field Hospital. It was January 26th, 1916 when Queen Mary gave her permission for her fourteen-year-old son to give his name to an appeal for a new motor ambulance for the hospital.
This marked Prince George's first public engagement, where he spent a full half-hour examining the motor ambulance and hand ambulance that were being donated. His involvement in this charitable project showcased his sense of duty and compassion at such a young age.
The Children's Story magazine aimed to explain war campaigns to British children and engage them in meaningful projects related to the war effort. By subscribing to this cause, readers could support important initiatives like providing medical aid through ambulances for those affected by conflict.
Prince George's participation in this event not only demonstrated his commitment to helping others but also highlighted his role as an influential figure within the royal family. This image serves as a reminder of how even young individuals can make a difference during times of crisis and uncertainty.
