ONTARIO‘ THURSDAY, JUNE 8th, 1939 Weicome to Their Majesties (Lieutenant Carr, who wrote the ad‘- vemmre narrative of the Submarine service, the Light Cruisers anid‘ De- stroyers under the title “By Guess and By God”; “Hell’s Angels of the Deep"; “Brass Hats and Bell-obot- teamed Trousers”, served in the Roy- al N‘avy as an Officer with the same rank as the present King when» he ‘was attacheti to the Grand Fleet). The Queen Mother has just the same ideas, she always looked upOn the home as being of greater im- portance thanfihe castle; the privi- lege of 'being the wife and c0mparn- ion of her spouse greater than «be- ing the Queen of an Empire. She never permitted modernism to in- vade the Royal Court and' she had little uselfor those who preached modernistic doctrines in regard! to marriage and religion. Both believe that motherhood is the highest and‘ greatest achievement in a woman’s life. Prince Albert, who is now King George VI, was born at York Cot- tage on the Sandringham Estate on December 14th, 1895. There was only eighteen months between his birth and that of his eldest brothem Edward. There was only sixteen months between his birth and his sister, Princess Mary. After our present King’s parents .returned from their Australian visit they took over the training of their offsprings and determined that they would be brought up as any other English children. Royalty have sent their children from all parts of the world‘ to England to be trained and educated, where children are taught to play ‘Cricket’ rather than to beâ€" come units of State Worship. It was, perhaps. quite natural that the two Princes Should‘ be sent to Osborne and Dartmouth in order to be trained for the Royal Navy. No matter what the modern wo- man thinks, the wife of the King of Great Britain still believes that first and foremost her place is in the home; that her first duty is to be- the companion and helpmate of her husband, and the mother of his children. Her duties as the first lady of the land are of secondary importance. Queen Victoria was stil-l on‘ the Throne and the young Prince Albert was born on the anniversary of the death of the Prince Consort. This fact undoubted-1y determined] who he was toL be called after. At that time his gramdparents were Prince and Princess of Wales and his- father and mother the Duke and Duchess of York. The young Princes and- their sis- ter were left at home when their parents visited Australia in 1900 to open the first Federal Parliament just as the young Prin‘ceSSes have been left during the period of the Royal visit to Canada. The Royal children were brought up during their younger years under the care and guidance of Madam Bricka, their governess, and ‘Mrs. Brill’, who had! charge of the nursery. They spent most of their younger days in Sandringham and Prince Albert and' Prince Edward were great pals and inseparable companions. This fact alone made it all the harder f3? King George, as he now is, to-“play the role, an accident of ‘birth placed- upon his shoulders at the time of his brother's abdication. The King's father had been an officer in the ROyalv Navy. He had not ‘been just an ornament but a practical timeâ€"serving officer. He once distinguished himself when, as Captain of a destroyer, he rescued the crew of a shipwrecked vessel in a heavy sea by the simple expedi- ent of running his own ship along- side of the stricken vessel and tak- ing off the crew. Only his coolness and supevb seamanshirp enabled him to make such a spectacular rescue without damage to his cum com- mand. Prince Albert was sent to the Naval Training College at Osborne soon after his fourteenth birthday. He was there for two years being ‘Iicked into shape’ with a number of other young gentlemen. Two more years he spent at the Dartmouth Royal Naval College, then, at the age of A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THEIR MAJESTIES KING GEORGE VI AND QUEEN ELIZABETH By William Guy Carr, Lieut. R.N.R. (Ret.) Prince, still be invaliweci but as soon he returned eighteen, he was sent to join the cadet-training ship H.M.S. “Cumber- land”. Here he was given sea ex- perience. When he graduated, he was gazetted midshipman and ap- pointed to H.M.S. “Collingwood”, flagship of the First Battle Squad- ron. He was still serving aboard this warship when war broke out in August 1914. Only a month elapsed after the outbreak of war when the young Prince, still a mid-shipman,. had to be invalidied home with Appendicitis, but as soon as he was Well enough, he returned to his ship and it was about this time that I had the hon- our to meet him on several occa- sions. I was serving as a midlshirp- man alboard H.M.S. “Doneg-aI”, at- tachedl to the Seventh Cruiser Squad}- l'on. I remember well, on one occa- sion, racing him in for the mail- when he was in charge of the COH- ing'ywood"s picket~boat and I had charge of the Donegafi's. One wild, stormy day, when the fleet were anchored in Seapa Flow and the mailboat was moored up a sheltered cove, a full gale swept the hanbour where the Grand‘ Fleet restâ€" ed at anchor. Picket-boats from all ships were ordered to collect the mail that winter’s morning. I left at breakfast time and did: not get back to my ship until the afternoon. The usual trip took about two hours. I believe that the picket-(boat from the “Donegal” and! the one from the “Collinngood” were the only two "boats which completed: the trip and returned with the mail. Prince Al- bert was midshipman of the C'olIi’ng- woodl's picket-Iboat on that occasion also. To give some idea of what the weather was like, the fires in the ’boilers of the Domegal”s- picket- boat were nearly put out on no less than five occasions. The Coxswain and myself dlidl the steering while the remainder of the crew were kept busy baling the water out of the engineâ€"room and after calbin. On another dirty night the young Prince ibrought despatches aboard H.M.S. “Donegal” from his Admiral. He had to wait for a reply from the “Do‘ne‘g‘al’s” Captain. As midl- shipmian of the Watoh I invited him down below to enjoy the hospitality of the Gunroom mess. He chatted and .talked‘ with the memlbers of the Giunrooim mess until the Quarter- master of the watch ca-me below to announce that the despatches were ready and the picketaboat alongside. While in the Royal Navy, he was treated exactly the same as any other officer of the same rank, did exactly the same wwrk and perform- ed the same duties. His health became gratiually worse as; the war progressed, and on sev- eral occasions he was sent South forr special medical attention as he was apparently! suffering from stomach ulcers. \Midrshilpmen from the “Calling- wood” told me that this fact wor- ried the young Prince very much indeed. He hated to be away from his ship, disliked the thought that his frequent atbsences might 'be mis- understood 'by those who were not familiar or informed as to the true facts in regard to his health. Fin- ally, be persuaded the authorities to send a special doctor to the “Col- lin‘g'wood” so that he could continue to serve aboard ship and to receive the necessary treatment while afloat. Thus it was that he was albo‘ard his ship H.M.S. “Collingwood” on the day she sailed from Scapa Flow to take part in the greatest naval battle of all time. His job during the Battle of Jutland was no/ sineâ€" cure. He was in charge of fhe fire- control turret, one of the most 're- sponsible positions in action and one of the hottest spots as well. In the firewontrol turre’ti are the instruments which control the salvo firing of the ship’s guns. The proâ€" per range ofthe enemy ships is “ob- tained and passed, by telephone to the various guns, then the correct deflection is given to allow for the enemy’s speed, wind, etc. After the gun-layers and sight-setters at the guns have adjusted their range dials and set the deflection. the gun-layers train their sights on the enemy ships. Indicators in the fire-control turret register the number of guns which are “on the tang‘et" at one and the same time. The guns are firedi from the central fire-control turret at the moment mos-t guns are ‘011’ the enemy. Those guns which are ‘off’ do not fire. Should the fire-control turret 'be ‘knocked out of action’ then the officers in charge of the different gun turrets carry on independently. The present King of England was given no decorations ‘sent up with the rations’ just because he was a Prince of the Royal Household, 'but he was mentioned in des‘pa-tches- be- cause he didihis aIBottecfi task while in action “calm, col'lectedly and with greatmefficiency". He' proved him- selghtb be a ‘prince of a; fellow' un- (ier conditions of actual warfare to have as a s‘hipmate. When on sick leave from the Navy also during and after the war, King George VI was never happier than when: visiting the sick and wounded men of all branches of the service, and it was while cheerinlg up the wounded that he met his future 'bride for the second time. He met 'her first when she was only five lyears 01d. War-time ‘grub' and' the war-time routine alboard ship did not help his stomach to *become any stronger and it was finally decided that he should retire from the Seniorr Service and join the Royal Flying- COFps. He did: considerable flying both at home and} in France andl finished the war as Wing-commander. In Octdber 1919, Prince Albert went to Camibridge where he studiedI civics, economics and history. In 192-0 he ceased to be Prince Albert when he became the Duke of York. In his new capacity he was not long breaking into his round' of public service and one of his first duties was to open Queen Mary’s Conval- escent Centre at Woodeote Park, Epsom. In top that and morning clothes he chummled, around with the exqs'eq'vice men and finally p‘lanked' himself down on the grass amongst them while they all had their photo- graphs taken. Lady Elizabeth Bowesâ€"Lyon was born on August 4th, 1900 at St. Paul’s Waldenbury, Hertfovdshire, and; she spent most of her childhood: days where she was born or at Gliamis Castle, the home of her an- cestors which legend. connects with Macibeth. Glamis‘ Castle was turned‘ into an emergency hospital during the war. There is an old picture taken shortly after the war showing Prince Ahbert in ‘muzfti" grouped with the Earl of Strathm-ore and members of the Earl’s family. The Prince is standing next to the Earl’s son David and directly behind Lady Elizabeth. Officially, it is reported that he met his future bride at a party given at Lad‘y Leicester’s home but there are many er-seervice men V'th claim to remember them meet- ing long before that. They met, ac- cording- to these men, when Lady Bowes-Lyon. was a war-time nurse and her future husband a visitor to Glamis Castle Hospital. Following the public and official meeting at La<£y Leicester’s, Lady Elizabeth acted as hostess at Glatmis at a house party which included Prince Albert and his sister Prin- cess Mary. When Princess Mary married in 1922, Lady Bowes~Lyon Was one of her bridesmaids. Under the noble battlements of this fam- egus Scottish castle, in an atmos- ghene steeped. in the traditions of e past, Prince Albert learn-ed t0 know and love Lady Elizabeth, and to her he became Prince Charming. Lt was a simple case of two human beings falling very much in love with each other for which happy occurrence the Empire may to~day feel truly thankful. One Saturday in Janua , 1923, the young Duke of York went down to spend a week-end at. St. Paul’s Wald-enbury. On the Sunday morn- ing, when the rest of the party went out to attend church, the Duke, seeking an opportunity when he could be alone with his beloved”, took Lady Elizabeth by the arm and they dropped behind. He steered into a pathway which led into the depths of the woods. Here under the can- To those who say they wouldn’t walk an extra step to see the King and Queen; to those that would rather s'it than stand when they hear the national anthem played: or sung, let it be pointed out that at least we should love and1 respect them as two very human beings and lrecolgnize their true value to the { Empire. Opy of Heaven, while the remainder prayed in church, he proposed to her, and 5119, being assured that she would be welcomed; into the Royal family by both the King and Queen. joyfully accepted: his preposal. So it was in the depths of the forest, under an old oak, with a- shan frost in the air, and the warm glow of love in their hearts, that these two people, who are now our King and Queen, plighted their troth. The sun, came from behind the cloudls in the winrtry sky and a red-breasted rolbin acted as their only witness. A.s King George VI, he is the visilble head of the Church of Engâ€" land on earth. As such he reminds ws to order our live-s according to the precepts andr practices of Chrisâ€" tianity. He at. least sets the ex- ample; if We fail to follow, let us not blame him or Christianity. As King of Great Britain and Ire- land, and: the D'ominiions over the seas (now known as the British Commonwealth of Nations) he wears a crown, and\ that crown is the link which unites and binds the British Empire. Those who are dissatisfied with this state of affairs and! those who talk treason and pneach) sedi- tion, should be treated: as peace time enemies of the Empire, and are to be considered far more dangerous than any individual can be when bearing arms against us in times of war. These traitors avail themâ€" selves of our protection and accept our hospitality While they plot and plan the destruction of our democ- racy. As Queen, Lady Bawes-Lyon re- presents all the high and lofty Meals mankind has wrapped' around and about worfianhaod} for ages past. She is to us, and may she always re- main, Her Most Gracious Majesty. As a' wife, .she sets an example of perfect unselfishness, bovwing her own wishes, ordering her own life, so that it fits in with her husband's daily routine and- the welfare 0f the Empire. She is one wife who keeps her vows to “Love, Honour and O‘bey”, and doesn’t think it any inâ€" dignity so to do. As a mother, she is the same as any other good- mother. She loves her children, her husband! and- her home. She delights in dressing her little daughters. As one of a fam- ily of hen chilidren she was never spoiled herself and takes every preâ€" caution tlo see that her babies» are not subjected to treatment which is likely to spoil them. Both the King and Queen love the simple home life and: are never so happy as when staying at their real home, Royal Dodge, Wimdsor, enjoying ~each oth- er’s companionship and) sharing the joys and childish sorrows of their two children.
