EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as The Duchess of Gloucester, formerly known as Lady Alice Montagu Douglas-Scott, inspects nurses while dressed in the uniform of deputy commander-in-chief of the order of St. John of Jerusalam. Born in 1901 and passing away in 2004, she married George V's third son, Henry, Duke of Gloucester in 1935.
Upon her husband's death, she became Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester to distinguish herself from the present Duchess. Her role as deputy commander-in-chief was an important one within the historical context depicted in this image.
The attention to detail and significance behind this photograph is truly remarkable. From the precision with which each nurse is inspected to the symbolism behind The Duchess' uniform and title - every aspect holds great import.
As we gaze upon this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back to a time when tradition and duty were paramount. It serves as a reminder of the rich history that has shaped our world today and honors the legacy left behind by individuals such as The Duchess of Gloucester.
