WELCOME BY THE SOVEREIGN.
British Official Wireless.
Rec. 5.5 p.m.
Rugby, April 21.
The King has sent by wireless a message of greeting to the first battallion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, of which he is Colonel-in-Chief and which arrived at Southampton to-day from Egypt after 13 years’ service abroad.
“Since the battalion left these shores in 1914,” the message stated, “it has seen much active service. I am proud to think my regiment has won fresh laurels by its conduct in war and peace. I wish all ranks a happy return homo to their families.”
