Prince of Wales as He
Appears at the Front

This is the Prince of Wales in uni
form as he appears when at the front
or near the front in France. Some
dispatches have had it that the prince
has been under fire, but few of those
whose business it is to report the war
believe this is true. The prince has
been sent about the camps to show
himself to the soldiers and cheer the
Britishers who like to believe their
future king is a soldier. In this pho
tograph he seems very pale and thin,
which may indicate that the hardships
he has encountered have not agreed
with him.
