Letters From Katherine

June 14, 2012 by Jason Duprau

To: Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, Sandringham

I respectfully beg to thank your Majesty on behalf of the Nursing Sisters for your gracious and sympathetic message which helps and encourages them to continue in the work with our sick and wounded.

Their courage and devotion has been remarkable under these trying circumstances.

E.M. McCarthy,

Matron in Chief, BEF
