For while his mother and fattier as the king and queen, and bis brother FJward as the Prince of Wales, shared for many years the spotlight of public Interest, Albert Frederick Arthur George, or "Bertie," as he was always called, was busy overcoming personal difficulties In such a way that by the time Georve V died he was probably more capable of be- - championshlp of the Royal force. He was shown no favoritism because of his rank when he was In the service of the king. Indeed, he was known to his erstwhile companions only as "Mr. Johnston."

Years ago King George VI, then the Duke of York, had so many troubles that those of kingship would seem slight to him indeed. His health was poor. He was weak, poor at games, hopeless at sports. He stammered badly. He was a bad mixer and made few friends. As a matter of fact he was such a negative personality that few ever noticed him in a crowd. Yet when he became king Bertie had beaten down all these bugaboos. King George VI was born 41 years ago, about a year and a half after Edward, at York cottage on the house. grounds of Sandringham When he was only fourteen he was sent, as so many Britons are at that early age, to naval training school. George V served in the navy and so did his second son. Bertie served with the fleet in the World war, although he was out for a time in 1914 when he was required to undergo an operation for appendicitis. He was soon back in service, however, and in May, 1916, was on the battleship Collingwood at the battle of Jutland, sometimes called the most spectacular naval encounter of all time. But in September of the same year he had to have another mejir coeration, almost dying from perforated duodenal ulcers. Becomes "Mr. Johnston. You can't keep a good man down, though, even if he's a duke, and Bertie, as soon as he was well again, was transferred to the naval branch of the Royal air service. The end of the war found him a pilot in France. Evidence that he was overcoming his incompetence in sports is the fact that, with his partner, he won the tennis doubles though it distressed him personally It endeared him to his listeners.

He was far from being strong in the early days, but he became an expert horseman and a fine swimmer. He is said to have played a good game on the navy football team, but he quit that before he married in 1923. He's a crack shot and an expert tennis player. He wields the racquet in his left hand, and in 1926 was the first member of royalty ever to represent Great Britain in the tennis championships at Wimbledon. i 5C99 Just a simple square, repeated and Joined together forms this View of the Crowded Harbor of Malta.
