The Press features details of the tragedy, and gives lengthy obituaries with pictures of Princess Marina and her children.
The ‘ Times,’ in a leader, says: “ The manner of his death will make men of the Empire straighten to the tasks still to be done, for the Duke of Kent died on active service for his country like many others who have died already and countless thousands who yet may die.” Among the many messages of condolence received by their Majesties, Queen Mary, and'the Duchess of Kent were those from President (Roosevelt and Mr Mackenzie King.
