Lord Kitchener in London.
The Orotava arrived at Southampton from Capetown at nine o’clock on Saturday morning. The vessel was quarantined, as Major Gordon, of the Gordon Highlanders, was suffering from smallpox, but. Lord Kitchener was met by the Duke of Connaught, Mr Brobrick, the Duke of 'Connaught, and several Indian Princes, and was welcomed by the Prince of Wales. Lord Kitchener, who looked bronzed and well, introduced General French to his Highness. Lord Kitchener, General lan Hamilton and General French, with the staff in khaki, drove from the station, Lord Roberts’s staff accompanying. They received a tremeradous ovation.

The Queen and many Royal guests viewed the procession from a balcony at Buckingham Palace.

The Empire, he declared, had watched with admiration Lord Kitchener’s tenacity, skill and patience. Lord Salisbury and members of the Ministry were present. Lord Kitchener and General French visited the King later in the day".
