Who is the only current head of state to have actually worn their nation's uniform during World War II?

Why, none other than her majesty Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom!


Her she changes a tire. In 1945, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service as a mechanic and driver, making her the last living head of state to have worn her country’s uniform in WWII.

  1. Remember when a career in politics was limited if one didn't serve your country in war....OTOH, she never really wanted a career in politics.

  3. My favorite photo of the royal family is the one where they are walking through the west end of London during the "blitz" while THE BOMBS ARE STILL GOING OFF! They refused to leave the city. They refused to hide. and They refused to seek safety while the British people were in peril. Name ONE twentieth century president that would do that. Say what you will about the Royals; They have class. We have a tribal chief, and a collection of faggots, perverts, thieves , idiots ,and madmen for a government. Makes one wonder who got the better deal in 1776.---Ray
