EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of dedicated workers from the Girls Friendly Society (GFS) tending to The Princess Mary Caravan in the 1920s. The Caravan, a mobile publicity unit, was an essential component of the Society's efforts to support young women in need of employment and accommodation. The Princess Mary Caravan was purchased in 1922, with the cost met entirely by Princess Mary, a steadfast supporter of the GFS. The vehicle served as a traveling hub for the Society, enabling them to reach out to communities and offer assistance to young women in their search for work and housing. The GFS, a charitable organization, played a crucial role in providing essential services to young women during the 1920s. Their mission was to support and empower young women, offering guidance, training, and temporary housing in hostels. The Caravan was yet another way they extended their reach and provided much-needed resources to those in need. In this image, we see the GFS workers gathered around the Caravan, likely preparing it for its next journey. The Caravan is adorned with the GFS insignia and features a folding tent and blankets, providing a temporary shelter for those seeking assistance. The workers, dressed in their uniforms, exude a sense of determination and compassion, reflecting the Society's unwavering commitment to helping young women during this period. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role the Girls Friendly Society played in supporting young women during the 1920s, and the impact of Princess Mary's generosity in making a difference in their lives.
