  coat of arms of British Royal Family  
         BUCKINGHAM PALACE all in red

                      1918               handwritten in black ink
       The Queen joins me in welcoming
  you on your release from the
  miseries & hardships, which you have
  endured with so much patience &
  courage.

       During these many months of trial,
  the early rescue of our gallant Officers
  & Men from the cruelties of their captivity
  has been uppermost on our thoughts.

       We are thankful that this longed
  

  for day has arrived, & that back in

  the old Country you will be able 

  once more to enjoy the happiness of 

  a home & to see good days among

  those who look anxiously look for

  your return.
