| Description | Queen Mary meeting two wounded soldiers. They are standing on a path outside a white building, possibly a hospital ward. The two wounded soldiers are wearing straw hats and suits. The Queen is standing next to two high ranking military officials, and there is a nurse standing directly behind her. There are more hospital buildings in the background, all surrounded by grass and plants in containers. Royal visits were seen as an important way of boosting morale amongst the troops. King George V and Queen Mary made several visits to the Western Front during the war, meeting troops and those involved in all aspects of war work. [Original reads: .']. . ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT. THE VISIT OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN. - H.M. AT A HOSPITAL INQUIRING FROM THE MAN WHERE HE WAS WOUNDED.'] |
