H.R.H. Prince George at the Monetery Peninsula Country Club, California. Prince George (20 December 1902 – 25 August 1942) was the fourth son and fifth child of King George V and Queen Mary and the younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI. He held the title of Duke of Kent from 1934 until his death in a military air-crash on 25 August 1942.
The prince was passing through California to join his ship, H.M.S "Durban", on which he was serving as French interpreter. After leaving California, H.M.S "Durban" traveled at high speed to relieve the sufferers from the tornado which affected the West Indies, Miami Beach and the Coast of Florida.
