  BUCKINGHAM PALACE

  1918

  
  

  No. 532413, Sapper J. W. Wright, R.E.

  
  

  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 in 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 anxiously look for your

  return.

  
  

  George R. I.
