EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, as she served as President of the National Women's Auxiliary of the YMCA during World War II. Dated to 1940, this image offers a unique glimpse into the role of women in the war effort during the 1940s. Princess Helena Victoria, born in 1870, was a prominent figure in British society and her involvement with the YMCA was an important contribution to the war effort. The National Women's Auxiliary of the YMCA provided essential services to the military, including cooking, cleaning, and providing moral support to soldiers. Princess Helena Victoria's leadership and dedication to this cause were invaluable during a time of great need. She is seen here wearing the uniform of the National Women's Auxiliary, which includes a red cross on a white background, symbolizing the humanitarian work of the organization. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of women during the 1940s, as they played critical roles in supporting the war effort and their communities.
