H.R.H. PRINCESS ALICE, COUNTESS OF ATHLONE. Royal Patron of the British-Israel-World Federation for 60 of its 70 years history. The nineteenth century was to see an era of identity awareness of such magnitude as to provoke the satanic forces of evil into organising a relentless campaign of opposition in both Church and State, a movement so relentless in fact that we may still feel its malevolent influence as we move towards the end of the twentieth century. However, we digress. By the middle of the nineteenth century Britain's true identity was known - or suspected - from Buckingham Palace to the humblest cottage in the land, widespread interest being stimulated by the amazing growth of the British Empire which was bringing peace, prosperity and orderly humane government to nearly one-quarter of the world's population. Supported by the United States Fleet in the Western Hemisphere, the Royal Navy preserved the freedom of the seas, putting down piracy and the slave trade.
