EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a young and determined Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother, leaving the British Red Cross Society on the fateful day of September 5, 1939. With the looming threat of World War II, the Queen, dressed in a simple yet elegant suit and hat, carries a canvas bag slung over her shoulder. Inside the bag is a gas mask, a necessary precaution for the civilian population in the event of a chemical attack. The image encapsulates the sense of duty and resilience that defined the British monarchy during wartime. Elizabeth's unwavering commitment to serving her country, even in the face of imminent danger, is a testament to her strength and courage. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and preparations made by the British people during the early days of World War II."
