EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the Duke of York, later King George VI (1895-1952), is seen engaging with the spirit of friendly competition at the Stable Lads Boxing Tournament held at the prestigious National Sporting Club. The event, which took place in 1923, was organized to raise funds for St. Dunstan's, a charitable organization dedicated to aiding blind and visually-impaired veterans of the war. The Duke, dressed in a formal dinner jacket, is seen here in an informal moment, sharing a light-hearted exchange with two contestants, both of whom are proudly wearing their boxing gloves and ready for their bout. The leading racing stables were all represented at the tournament, adding an air of excitement and camaraderie to the evening. The Duke's patronage of St. Dunstan's was a testament to his commitment to supporting those in need, and this boxing tournament was just one of the many ways in which he demonstrated his dedication to the cause. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the nobility and the working classes came together in the name of sport and charity. The Duke's warm and approachable demeanor is evident in this photograph, as he connects with the two boxers, creating a memorable moment that transcends the boundaries of class and status. The Stable Lads Boxing Tournament was not only a thrilling sporting event but also a powerful symbol of unity and compassion, and this photograph stands as a testament to the enduring power of charitable endeavors.
