THE FOLLOWING MOST GRACIOUS MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY THE

EXPEDITIONARY FORCE :-
Another Christmas finds all the resources of the Empire still engaged
in War, and I desire to convey, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Queen, a heartfelt
Christmas greeting and our good wishes for the New Year to all who on sea and
land are upholding the honour of the British name.

In the officers and men of my Navy on whom the security of the
Empire depends, I repose, in common with all my subjects, a trust that is absolute.
On the officers and men of my Army, whether now in France, in the East or in other
fields, I rely with an equal faith, confident that their devotion, their valour and their self
sacrifice will, under God's guidance, lead to victory and an honourable peace. There
are many of their comrades now, alas, in hospital, and to these brave men also I desire,
with the Queen, to express our deep gratitude and our earnest prayers for their recovery.

Officers and men of the Navy and of the Army, another year is drawing
to a close as it began, in toil, bloodshed and suffering, but I rejoice to know the
goal to which you are striving draws nearer into sight, and may God bless you and all
your undertakings.
