EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1939, the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (1900-2002), is seen interacting with a group of young evacuees from Battersea at Horsted Keynes during World War 2. The image captures a heartwarming moment as the Queen Mother, dressed in a stylish coat and hat, engages with a little four-year-old girl named Shirley, who is playfully pretending to be a mother with her doll. The Queen Mother's suggestion for Shirley not to forget to wash the doll behind its ears elicits an excited response from the young girl. The backdrop of the photograph is a maple tree, its leaves a vibrant display of autumn colors, adding a sense of warmth and tranquility to the scene. The Queen Mother's brooch, adorned with a lyon emblem, is visible, symbolizing her royal lineage and maternal role. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the efforts made by the royal family to provide comfort and support to the children who were evacuated from London during the war. The year was a challenging one, with the looming threat of war and the separation of families as children were sent to safer areas. Yet, moments like these, where the Queen Mother took time to connect with the evacuees, brought a sense of normalcy and joy to their lives. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the people during wartime and the importance of maternal love and care, even in the most trying of times.
