Commissioner Corps Countess Groups Guide Guides Harewood Jack Uniforms 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princess Mary, the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, proudly presents a Union Jack flag to a group of Girl Guides in their distinctive uniforms. The scene takes place in 1922, during a time when the Girl Guides movement was growing rapidly in the United Kingdom. Princess Mary, who was then the Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood, served as a Commissioner for the Girl Guides, playing an active role in supporting and promoting the organization. The photograph captures the essence of the Girl Guides' spirit of adventure and commitment to community service. The girls, all dressed in their smart uniforms, gaze intently at the Princess as she hands over the flag, their expressions a mix of excitement and reverence. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of British pride and tradition, is held aloft, its red, white, and blue stripes standing out against the dark backdrop of the Princess's elegant attire. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the close connection between the British monarchy and the Girl Guides movement. It also highlights the important role that Princess Mary played in promoting the organization and inspiring young girls across the country to get involved. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Girl Guides and the impact they have had on generations of girls and women in the United Kingdom and beyond. The photograph is a valuable historical record, and its high-quality resolution and clear detail make it an excellent addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to British royalty, Girl Guides, or the early 20th century.
