Mrs F. c. Kinney, on June LIST, A. G..
Kinney, M. o. R. C. recently of East
HardWick, but now serving with the
British Medical corps in Leeds, En-
gland has this to say: "There was a
great time here yesterday when the
King and Queen with their suite Wis
tied one Of the war hospitals and the
King decorated about rs wounded Of
ficers and soldiers and relatives with
Victoria Crosses, distinguished SER
vice medals, etc. 1t was a very i'm
pressive service. | stood about 20
feet from his majesty all through the
ceremony, so had a good chance to
see him. l never expected to be so
near to royalty. He seemed quite
like a man and a very humane and
likeable one as near as l could judge.
But l would not change places with
him. There was an expression IN his
eyes that l would not want to wear
in mine for all the money in the
world. 1t was very impressive
scene. Some of the men came up
with empty sleeves, some on crutch-
es and one poor fellow with both feet
gone, in wheel chair. But saddest
of all were the mothers and widows,
most of them with children at their
sides, to claim the honors that their
boys had paid for with their lives. l
saw tears in the Kings eyes as he
shook hands with an old, bent, gray
haired woman. One little fellow
about my Johns size got a laugh and
great cheer as he marched up with
his. mother and saluted the king with
as much pomp as any general. My
roommate had his camera and got a
film full of snapshots of the cere-
mony and if they are good l will try
to send you some If you were NOV
ing picture fans probably you would
see it on the screen in a few weeks
as there were four or five cranks 60
ing all the time and you might see
me as | stood right opposite one of
the cameras.
