Buckingham Palace 1918
The Queen joins me in welcoming you on your release from the miseries and hardships which you have endured with so much patience and courage.
During these many months of trials the early rescue of our gallant officers and men from the cruelties of their captivity has been upmost in our thoughts.
We are thankful that this longed for day has arrived, and that back in the old country you will be able once more to .......... the happiness of a home and to ............ good days among those who anxiously look for your return.
George R I
