“…This morning I went to the Great Ormond St Hospital to see Mary working in her ward.Both the Dr & Matron are much pleased with her work which she does very nicely & thoroughly.” –Queen Mary writing to her son, Prince Albert (future George VI) on 10 August 1918. Princess Mary, the only daughter of George V & Queen Mary, was 17 when the First World War broke out. She became very involved with charities which provided assistance to the mothers, wives and children of soldiers serving in France. She also worked in a canteen in a munitions factory in Hayes and was particularly interested in nursing, especially the work of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD). This interest led to Princess Mary taking an advanced course in nursing, which she passed with honours. She trained as a nurse and in 1918, aged 21, she went to work as a VAD probationer at the Hospital for Sick Children in Great Ormond Street.
