"GOOD LUCK, SIR!"
UNIVERSAL ROYAL TOAST,
British Official Wireless. (Received 2 p.m.) RUGBY, July 25. Troops drawn from the Royal Fusiliers, which have privilege of marching through the City of London with fixed bayonets, formed a guard of honour when the King visited the Loudon docks yesterday. His Majesty saw ships unloading, ships just leaving, and all the other activities of a busy port. While visiting the Royal Fusiliers' canteen, he came upon a number of men enjoying glasses of beer. His Majesty talked with them for some time, and, when he left, he received the universal farewell observed throughout England —the raised glass and, "Good Luck, Sir!" The King spent 10 minutes in an underground shelter during an air raid while he was visiting South Coast nsval establishment*.
