DUKE OF WINDSOR

To Retain Former Ranks

London, June 12. An unofficial report" published in London to-day, that the Duke of Windsor was to be reduced in seniority in all the Oghting Ser- vices, drew a quick reply from afi- cia! quarters.

The reply, which is authorita- tive, states that the former King retains the ranks of Admiral of the Fleet, Field-Marshal and Air Marshal

་!

It is added, however, than when he abdicated, he automatically lost his special seniority in these ranks, which was his as King.

Thus the Duke's seniority in each of the fighting forces dates from the day of his assumption of the ranks, January 21, 1936.-. Reuter.

This year's camp is being held from July 31 to August 7, and His Majesty will, it is hoped, spend a full day during the week at camp.

In the past, on several occasions as Duke of York, he spent the night under canvas with the boy's but this year it is expected that His Majesty will only be able to spend the day with them.--- British Wireless,
