British diplomats to dedicate WW II armor on Long Island in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth
Marking the anniversary of her WWII enlistment and a reminder of an historic Anglo American alliance that continues to defend freedom
On the anniversary of then 19 year old Princess Elizabeth joining the British Auxiliary Territorial Services (ATS) during the height of World War II, diplomats from the British Consulate will gather on Thursday, March 30th at 11:00 a.m. at The Museum of American Armor, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage, where they will dedicate a period British armor car named in her honor.
Nicknamed The Staghound, the armored car was designed to probe for German forces in North Africa, Italy, and Europe during World War II. Built by Chevrolet, they were transferred to British forces and other Allied forces under “Lend-Lease” and saw action throughout the conflict.
The Staghound will become a permanent part of the Armor Museum’s operational collection, emblazoned with the name of Princess Elizabeth that pays tribute to the historic role of the Anglo American alliance to defend freedom that continues to this day.
In addition to British diplomats, the ceremony will include welcoming remarks by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a performance by the Nassau County Police Department pipe band, comments from members of the British War Veterans of America and British living historians.
