Then came the War and immediately after hostilities be- tween Britain and Germany had been declared, his Majesty's first act was to proceed to the Admir- alty, where he inspected the plans which had been prepared, indieat- ing the probable, feld of naval pperations. As a Naval man of wide experience, his Majesty was naturally greatly interested in the tentative plans drawn up by the Admiralty authorities in anticipa-

tion of the British Navy being called upon to take active part in the war which was then just be- ginning. All through the sub- sequent. four years of strain and sorrow King George took the keên- est personal interest, not only in the progress of military and naval events, but in the welfare of the gallant men who were taking their various parts in the struggle. His Majesty crossed the Channel on many occasions in order to visit the British Headquarters in the feld. Inspect the front lines and see the wounded in the hospitals. On one of these occasions, in 1917, he was accompanied by the queen who visited a number of military hospitals nest the firing line. Time and again, during the years of the Great War, King George by word and deed gave help and en-
