WWI, Air Marshal Trenchard and Queen Mary

Caption: "Air Marshal Trenchard shows a De Havilland bomber to Queen Mary." Mary of Teck (May 26, 1867 - March 24, 1953) was Queen of the UK and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, as the wife of King George V. During WWI, Queen Mary instituted an austerity drive at the palace, where she rationed food, and visited wounded and dying servicemen in hospital, which she found a great emotional strain. As queen consort from 1910, she supported her husband through the First World War, his ill-health and major political changes arising from the aftermath of the war and the rise of socialism and nationalism. Hugh Montague Trenchard (February 3,1873 - February 10, 1956) was a British officer who was instrumental in establishing the Royal Air Force. He held several senior positions in the Royal Flying Corps during WWI, serving as the commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France from 1915-17. In 1918, he briefly served as the first Chief of the Air Staff before taking up command of the Independent Air Force in France. Returning as Chief of the Air Staff under Churchill in 1919, Trenchard spent the following decade securing the future of the Royal Air Force.
