Queen Elizabeth meets Generals de Gaulle and Catroux
Here we see Queen Elizabeth meeting the French leaders Generals De Gaulle and Catroux at a concert in aid of the French held at the Dorchester Hall on 10 November 1942. On the left with her back to the camera is the Marchioness of Crewe, a member of the Rothschild family and a great supporter of the Free French. After the war she was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour. General Catroux was the highest ranked French general to join the Free French, and was commander in the Middle East in 1941-42 and Algier in 1943-44. This picture was presumably taken between the two posts.
