Brand Canteen Debut Debutante Madame Middleton Nov17 Patience Yevonde
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the youthful determination of Miss Patience Boo Brand as she served in the Women's Voluntary Service (WVS) Canteen Service during the tumultuous year of 1939. At just eighteen years old, Patience, the cherished daughter of Lt.-Colonel Brand and Lady Rosabelle Brand, answered the call to duty amidst the looming shadows of World War II. The image, taken by renowned British photographer Lady Yevonde Middleton for the Illustrated London News (ILN), showcases Patience in her WVS uniform, her gaze steady and resolute, her expression reflecting a sense of duty and commitment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the countless young women who answered the call to service during this pivotal moment in history, setting aside their own dreams and aspirations to support the war effort. Patience's debut into society would have to wait as she put her place in high society on hold to contribute to the war effort. This portrait, taken in the late 1930s, encapsulates the spirit of the times - a time of uncertainty, sacrifice, and resilience. Patience's story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the era, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the women of the 1930s and 1940s during the Second World War.
