A Letter From King George V

King George V of England sent letters of appreciation to wounded soldiers who fought to defend the British Empire. This one was sent to Sapper George Williams of Cobalt, Ontario, in 1918 while being transported, presumably wounded, back to Canada on the hospital ship Araguaya. The ‘G-12’ likely refers to his berth on the ship.
