Dear Clegg,

The King told me yesterday how interested
he was in what he saw of the small scheme
being laid on by the Survey Regiment.

As a matter of interest it was the first
time he had ever seen this, and he told me
how particularly pleased he was to have been
able to do so.

Thank you personally for all you did and will
you pass on my appreciation to all those
sering under you.

Yours Sincerely
(agd) N M Ritchie

Lt Col H H B Clegg
OC 7 Survey Regiment RA
