Harry Hopkins, Diana Hopkins, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Fala.

Diana Hopkins lived with her father and stepmother at the White House from 1940-1943, when her father, Harry Hopkins, served as a close adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Diana participated in the Easter Egg Roll each year that she lived in the White House. In 1943, Diana, at the age of 11, was given permission to plant a Victory Garden on the South Lawn of the White House grounds. Victory Gardens were small vegetable gardens grown by families to supplement the food rations they received during World War II.
