„WAI FAMOS
The following message has been received from His
Majesty the King:-
"Another Christmas finds all the resources of the Empire still engaged in war, and I desire to convey on my behalf, and on behalf of the Queen, a heartfelt Christmas greeting and our goods wishes for the New Year to all who, on sea and land, are upholding the honour of the British name.
In the officers and men of my Navy on whom the security of the Empire depends I repose, in common with all my sub- jects, a trust that is absolute.
On the officers and men of my Armies, whether now in France, in the East, or in other fields, I rely with an equal faith, confident that their devotion, their valour, and their self sacrifice will, under God's guidance, lead to victory and an honourable peace.
There are many of their comrades now alas in hospital and to these brave men also I desire, with the Queen, to express our deep gratitude and our earnest prayers for their
recovery.
Officers and men of the Navy and of the Army, another year is drawing to a close, as it began, in toil, bloodshed and suffering, but I rejoice to know the goal to which you are striving draws nearer into sight.
May God bless you and all your undertakings.
BONAR LAW.
