EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Princess Mary (1897-1965) standing proudly outside The Princess Mary Caravan in the early 1920s. The Princess, a strong advocate for the welfare of young women, was a dedicated supporter of The Girls Friendly Society (GFS), a charitable organization that aimed to help young women find employment and provided accommodation in hostels. In 1922, The Girls Friendly Society made history by purchasing this mobile publicity unit as a means to expand their reach and raise awareness about their cause. The cost of the caravan was generously met by Princess Mary, who was deeply committed to the Society's mission. The Princess Mary Caravan served as a vital tool for the GFS workers, who used it to travel from town to town, offering assistance and support to young women in need. The caravan's arrival in a community was often met with great excitement and anticipation, as it represented a beacon of hope and opportunity for those seeking employment or a safe place to live. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great social change, and the need for organizations like The Girls Friendly Society was more pressing than ever. The Princess Mary Caravan was a testament to the Society's commitment to making a difference in the lives of young women, and it remains an enduring symbol of their legacy. In this photograph, Princess Mary is seen standing alongside the caravan, her expression radiating pride and determination. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that one person can have on the lives of many, and the importance of supporting charitable causes that make a real difference in the world.
