The King and Queen returned to London last Saturday after
having spent a week at Aldershot living in the "Royal pavilion." At the end-of his stay the King said that it had been one of the most pleasant times he' had ever spent in his life. The troops for their part were delighted at the noticeably dose interest which the King and Queen took in every small detail relati g to the soldier's life. The King and Queen talked freely to the men, and were never tired of visiting the hospitals and the stores and examining the cooking arrange- ments and the men's quarters. The result, says the special correspondent of the Times, was "electrifying." Soldiers understand and value personal interest, and they feel that the
King means his reign to be one of close attachment to the Services.
