EDWARD VIII
(1894-1972, King of Great Britain, Later the Duke of Windsor)
Fine Wartime Autograph Letter Signed in pencil to "My dear Colonel" written "In the train to MARSEILLES",
saying that "poor old Desmond's death is a fearful blow to me & I can't realise we shall never see the dear chap again. It's all too ghastly & such a rotten way of being killed; ... at Calais one would have thought one's friends were safe. All this hardly tends to cheer me up on my way East!! Claudie & Malcolm Murray are with me & we crossed to Boulogne in a destroyer ... & have passed dear old Paris. We should reach Marseilles about 9.00 am & shove off at once ... for Alexandria ... What a change it will be out there, & a pleasant one in a way tho I cant say I'm looking forward to it a bit really. I do feel the biggest shit on God's Earth deserting the DIV at this time just as you are all going up to Ypres to have a bloody awful time!! ... I don't deserve it!! I have had a frightfully busy week in London ... I only dined out twice as my family was in London!! ... So you see I was'nt v. gay ... we made up for a lot that night!! Mrs Wyndham & Patra Cadogan dined as well as Claud & my brother & we danced ... a little of that does one a world of good!! ..." he continues with news of friends and continues that he supposes "you are in camp near Popersinghe I only trust it will soon get warmer, for there has been a lot of snow in England ... My brother & I had a game of squash every morning ..." he sends love to friends in the battalion, 2 sides 8vo., France, 10th March
