EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1935, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900-2002), shows her compassionate side as she engages with a group of determined Crippled Cubs during a grand display by 17,000 children from the Boys Brigade, Girl Guides, Scouts, and Cubs in Edinburgh. The future queen, dressed elegantly in a long coat and hat, is seen leaning over a makeshift table, intently listening to one of the young boys while others look on with admiration. The scene unfolds at a rugby union ground, where the children had gathered to showcase their achievements and camaraderie. Among them were some Crippled Cubs, who, despite their physical challenges and pain, refused to let their infirmities keep them from participating in the event. Their courage and resilience in the face of adversity left a lasting impression on the Duchess, who took the time to speak with each of them, offering words of encouragement and support. The photograph captures a poignant moment in history, highlighting the spirit of unity and determination among the young participants and the compassionate nature of the Duchess of York. The Boys Brigade, Girl Guides, Scouts, and Cubs movement, which brought together thousands of children from all walks of life, played a significant role in shaping the lives of countless individuals during the 1930s, fostering a sense of community, resilience, and personal growth. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of youth, courage, and the human spirit.
