EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of London's bustling Strand, amidst the cheers and applause of thousands, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, and Prince Albert, later King George VI, made a surprise visit to the Beaver Hut in May 1919. As the future monarchs of the British Empire, their presence was a morale-boosting moment for the Canadian soldiers who had gathered there, having returned from the horrors of the First World War. The Beaver Hut, a popular social club for Canadian Expeditionary Force members, was a symbol of their national pride and camaraderie during their time in Europe. The Princes' visit was a testament to the deep appreciation and gratitude of the British people towards their Canadian allies. Preceded by a policewoman, the Princes bravely squeezed through the dense crowd, waving and acknowledging the cheers of the adoring public. The scene was a powerful reminder of the unity and support that emerged from the devastating effects of the Great War. This historic photograph captures a poignant moment in the annals of World War I history, as the future King Edward VIII and King George VI connect with the brave Canadian soldiers who had fought valiantly for the cause of freedom and democracy. The image stands as a testament to the enduring bond between the British and Canadian peoples and their shared history.
