Over
a million copies were distributed to soldiers in 1918. Every A.E.F. soldier in
WWI, upon debarkation in England, was given an envelope with these words on it,
"A Message to You from His Majesty King George."
Inside the royal arms embossed on stationary-style paper was a message from King George V, in facimile handwriting. Granddad scribbled a quick note at the bottom, added his initials & sent it home as reassurance that he had arrived without incident.

AND HOW MANY PEOPLE NOW REMEMBER HOW THIS COUSIN OF LBJ'S GOT THE NAMES FRANCIS MARION?--Family soldiers in many wars, remembering.
