When King

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 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, 1014.

Ile remained there until March, 1916, when he was ap- pointed Stuff Captain at the headquarterя of the Egyptian | Expeditionary Force.

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

It Is letter addressed to the Com- manding Ofeer of the Grenadier Guards, and in dated Aug. 8, 1914, Immediately after King Edward had received his commission in the batta Hon. It reads:

I have the honour to convey to you in Majesty's commands which are da

as follows. That no honours or salutes to which the Prince of Wolte is entitled ns Prince of Wales should be rendered to his Royal Highness by the battalion in which he is serving, or by any brigade to 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 Purac.

The diaries and documents are con tained in a small wooden box fasten. ed only with a brass hook and eye.

Among other interesting papern in the collection is a tiny crimson note- book which bears in gold lettering on the cover the words "Field Report about. Book." It is similar to that issued to officers during the war.

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

The first entry,

which is dated June, 1914, apparently refers to the King's participation in Oxford Uni- versity O.T.C. manoeuvren at Alder- shot.

Before the next entry, war had been declared. Under the date, Aug. 14, 1014, are the words: "Left at 9.45 for Gt. Warley,"
