IN his address to the men the king

and to have looked into the faces of
those who for the defense of home
and of the empire, were ready to
give up their all and have sacrificed
their limbs, sight, hearing and
health. Your wounds, the most
honorable distinction a man can
bear, inspire reverence in your
fellow countrymen. May Almighty
God mitigate your sufferings and
give you strength to bear them. As
your king thank you. We all
honor and admire the ungrudging
way in which you have done your
duty That you may live long a d
enjoy with happiness the peace
which you have so hardly won is
the most earnest wish of my heart"
