EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Her Majesty Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, is seen presenting service badges to a group of dedicated nurses at Holyrood Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the year 1923. The future Queen Mother, then known as the Duchess of York, stands beside her, her regal presence evident even in her youth. The third woman in the image is Lady Mar and Kellie, who assisted the Queen in the presentation ceremony. The occasion marked the recognition of the long and dedicated service of the nurses who had served the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute for over twenty-one years. The Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute, an organization founded in 1887 to provide nursing education and care for the sick and injured, held great significance for Queen Mary, who had served as its president since 1901. The scene exudes an air of grace and dignity, with the elegant interiors of Holyrood Castle providing a fitting backdrop to the momentous event. The nurses, dressed in their uniforms, proudly display their badges as they receive them from the Queen, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and accomplishment. The Duchess of York, who would later become Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, watches attentively, her expression one of admiration and respect for the women before her. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the dedication and commitment of the nurses who served the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute and the graciousness of Queen Mary in recognizing their efforts. The image stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the organization and the important role it played in the lives of countless individuals during a time when nursing care was essential to the health and well-being of the community.
