EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the young Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) in her Auxiliary Territorial Service (A.T.S.) uniform during the Second World War, in 1945. The future monarch of Britain, aged around 19 or 20, is depicted as a second subaltern, a rank she held in the women's auxiliary branch of the British Army. Dressed in a military tunic and trousers, Elizabeth wears a cap adorned with the A.T.S. insignia and carries a black handbag. The image is taken from the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive," written by Dermot Morrah and published by Odhams Press Limited in London in 1947. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played in the war effort during the 1940s, as they donned uniforms and took on various roles in the armed forces to support the military and the country. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during this pivotal period in history.
