He kept up a running fire of comment, such as: "The silly Germans say that we have no music, but just listen to that Australian band"; "The Germans thought that tliey were going to I'masli the British Empire; those men will show them!"
After he had been cheered by the troops the King said: "That brings a lump in my throat." H:s' Majesty concluded: "These are the finest troops we have seen since the original'.,i,SDedit'/--i----ary Force went to France.''
