EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the Second World War. The image showcases Queen Mary of Teck, the beloved monarch, observing the hardworking women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) at the Army School of Cookery in Aldershot. Taken around 1941 but published in 1951, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era when Britain was facing great challenges. In this snapshot, we see ATS girls diligently working with a field kitchen while being closely watched by Queen Mary. Her regal presence adds an air of importance to their efforts as they prepare meals for soldiers on the front lines. The makeshift outdoor setting reflects the resourcefulness required during wartime. The photographer beautifully captures both strength and femininity through these remarkable women who played vital roles in supporting their country's armed forces. Their dedication to duty is evident as they skillfully navigate their tasks under Queen Mary's watchful eye. This powerful image not only documents a specific moment but also symbolizes the resilience and unity that defined Britain during those trying times. It serves as a tribute to all those who served selflessly during war and highlights how even royalty recognized and appreciated their contributions. Published in Marion Crawford's book "The Queen Mother" this print stands as a testament to history, reminding us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals for our freedom today.
