Note: This is an excerpt from Sports Illustrated, September 12, 1955: "English polo, once one of that country's most glorious sports, has had a shaky time of it since 1939 when World War II put an end to such frivolities. There are not many Britons who can field a string of polo ponies these days, and when the old Household Cavalry Polo Club was disbanded last October after its grounds were requisitioned by local authorities, the ancient sport received another wallop. But the Queen's horses and the Queen's men are not to be deprived of their traditional game. In January of this year, Elizabeth gave permission for a ground to be laid out on the broad flat stretch of Smith's Lawn in the royal purlieus of Windsor Great Park, just three miles by private road from Windsor Castle. Thereupon a new club was formed, the Household Brigade Polo Club, and the opening tournament during Ascot Week was a triumph for the game and a personal success for its best-known patrons, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, with the large gallery having a spectators' field day under the June-blue English skies."
