| Description | A row of biplanes are lined up at right-angles to a hangar and a man stands to attention at the side of each one of them. Queen Mary (1867-1953) is walking at the front of the picture with two officers. More officers are milling around behind her. The Queen at the time was Mary of Teck. Royal visits were seen as an important way of boosting both civil and military morale. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE.
