EDITORS COMMENTS
At a Bomber Command Station: A Historic Moment in the Second World War, 5 July 1944 This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the Second World War as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by their young daughter, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), visit a British bomber station. The Royal Family's presence served to boost morale among the airmen who had just returned from a daring attack on enemy flying bomb bases in France. The image shows the Duke of York, later King George VI, dressed in military uniform, with his wife, the Duchess of York, wearing a smart, elegant dress. Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet stylish flying suit, stands between her parents, her expression reflecting a sense of curiosity and maturity beyond her years. The scene exudes a sense of unity and determination as the Royal Family connects with the brave men of the armed forces, showcasing the unwavering support of the British people for their military during this pivotal time in history. This photograph, taken in 1944 and published in Dermot Morrah's book, "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive," offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the future monarch and her family during wartime. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the armed forces and the unwavering support of the British people during the Second World War.
