The King’s Message.
“DUTY WILL BE YOUR WATCHWORD. ” London, August 19. The King’s message to the expeditionary force before they departed, said they were entrusted with the safety and honor of the Empire. “I have implicit confidence in you, and I know you will do your duty nobly. I pray God to bless and guard you, and bring you back victorious. Belgium, which we are
pledged to defend, has been attacked, and. France is about to be invaded by the same powerful foe. Duty will be your watchword. I will follow your every movement
with the deepest interest, and mark
with eager satisfaction your daily I progress. Your welfare will never he absent from my thoughts.”
