EGYPTIAN NATION FEELS DEEPEST SYMPATHY AT KING'S DEATH

MESSAGES TO SERVICES

RESPONSIBILITIES LIGHTENED BY CONFIDENCE

LOYALTY AND DEVOTION

London, To-day.

Messages from King Edward to the Navy, Army and Air Force have been issued. The message to the Navy recalls with gratitude their distinguished services and the long and intimate personal association between the Royal family and the Navy.

It says that the King's visits to many parts of the Empire have enabled him to note with pride that "loyalty” and “devotion to duty" remain the watchwords of the Royal Navy and that the same great traditions are guiding the development of the naval services in the Dominions, India and the other Empire naval forces.
