TELEGRAM. The Governor of Hong Kong to the Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
(Received Colonial Office 12.10 p.m. 28th December 1914).
December 28th.
Commodore has received a message from Their
Kajesties the King and Queen conveying greeting for
Christmas and the New Year to the Navy. If a similar
New Year greeting could be graciously extended to His
Majesty's military forces I venture to suggest that it
would be much appreciated, especially by the Indian
Contingent.
MAY.
