THOSE PRESENT

Only once, sald the Bishop, did I have the privilege of seeing his late Majesty face to face. It was about the middle of the War. I looked straight into his eyes and I shall never forget till I die the warm sadness of the face of the Father or his People. I know that he was feeling all that my parents were feeling and countless other parents were feeling as their lads went out to die. I knew, as all of us in France knew, that It was far harder for the people at home than for us. I knew he was suí- feriny and shared what we were suffering.

EXAMPLE OF DEVOTION There have been example after example of His Majesty's devotion to duty, of his loyalty and of his discipline. He was "a man under authority. He had to do what he was told. The leader of his people he had to be continually at their service; he spent his e-every moment of it, even to
