Edward

Went To

The War

HIS FATHER'S ORDER

TO BE TREATED LIKE OTHER OFFICERS

Accounts of King Edward's war experiences in France when i he was Prince of Wales are con- tained in diaries and documents which have been presented by His Majesty to the Imperial War Museum.

King Edward went to France as aide-de-camp to Field Marshal Sir John French in November, 1914.

remained there until March, 1016, when he was ap- pointed Staff Captain at the headquarters of the Egyptian | Expeditionary Force.

One of the documents gives a strik- ing indication of King George's de- stre that his son should be treated ne an ordinary officer,

It is a letter addressed to tho Com- manding Officer of tho Grenadier Guards, and in dated Aug. 8, 1914, immediately after King Edward had received his commission in the balta- lion. It reads:

I have the honour to convey to you His Majesty's commands which are as follows. That no honours or Kaluton to which the Prince of

Wales is entitled 08 Princo of Wales should be rendered to his Royal Highness by the battalion in be is serving, or by any

A which his battalion may

belong.

The King's wish is that the Prince of Wales should be treated exactly as any other officers of the

battalion.

The letter was signed by Lt. Col. William Carington, Keeper of the Privy Purse.

The entries are made in the King's neat, small handwriting, in pencil. Although they were written over 20 years ago, most of the words are casily decipherable.

The first entry, which is dated June, 1914, apparently refers to the King's participation in Oxford Uni vorsity O.T.C." monoeuvres at Alder- shot.

Before the next entry, war had been declared. Under the date, Aug. 14, 1814, are the words: "Left at 9.45 for Gt. Warley."
