EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1932, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and the Queen Mother, gracefully participate in the annual Party of the Not-Forgotten Association at Buckingham Palace. Held by permission of King George V, the event brought together 400 disabled ex-servicemen who were still residing in London hospitals, providing them with much-needed respite and camaraderie during the holiday season. The Duke and Duchess are depicted in the Riding School at Buckingham Palace, where they mingled with the guests, offering a sense of normalcy and joy amidst the challenges of their recovery. In this image, the Duchess, later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, delicately cuts into a large Christmas cake, her elegant gown and pearl necklace contrasting with the rustic surroundings. The Duke stands beside her, his expression one of warmth and support. The Party of the Not-Forgotten Association was an essential part of the royal family's commitment to supporting the welfare of wounded servicemen and women, reflecting the spirit of compassion and unity that defined the era. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the Duke and Duchess's dedication to the cause and their ability to bring happiness to those in need during the festive season.
