GEORGE V: (1865-1936) King of the United Kingdom 1910-36. Unusual D.S., George, (twice, once at the foot of each page of text), as the Duke of Cornwall and York, two pages, folio, n.p. (Ottawa), n.d. (September 1901). The printed document is a copy of an address that the Duke made in Canada during his tour of the British Empire, in part, `The Duchess and I desire to express to you our heartfelt thanks for the loyal and kindly sentiments contained in your Addresses. At the same time we wish to acknowledge with gratitude, the hearty welcome accorded to us by the vast crowds which to-day throng your beautifully decorated streets….It is a great pleasure to find myself here again for a third time and that on this occasion the Duchess is with me; and that we together will enjoy the memorable associations and natural beauties of this ancient city and its picturesque surroundings. And it is my proud mission here, in the ancient historic Capital of Canada, hallowed as you say by the struggles of nations and enriched by the blood of heroes such as Wolfe and Montcalm, to come amongst you as a token of that feeling of admiration and pride with which the King and the whole Empire have seen the sons of the Dominion rallying round the Flag of their common allegiance. They fought to secure for their fellow subjects the same freedom and liberty which they in the past have secured and vindicated for themselves. The blood of your gallant sons has not been shed in vain. For posterity will never forget that of the Canadians was recorded "their magnificent tenacity in attack" and that "to them the credit was immediately due, for that white flag which on the anniversary of Majuba Day, fluttered over the Boer lines of Paardeberg". May we not take heart in the belief that the blood shed on that and other battlefields in South Africa, may, like that shed by your fathers in 1775 and 1812 weave fresh strands in the cord of brotherhood that binds together our glorious Empire.` A poignant text, of interest for its comments on the Canadian Army`s participation in the Boer War. Accompanied by three related letters signed by various Canadian officials etc. VG, 4
