King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American Military Hospital, Dartford, near London. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in the prime of England's autumn season, and the spacious grounds of the hillside hospital were dotted with groups of convalescent American soldiers when their Majesties arrived. As the King and Queen and the Princess Mary walked around from ward to ward, crowds of American wounded, all dressed in hospital blue, clustered around them and they moved always through lanes of men whose bandages and crutches and splints told of heroism on the battlefields of France. The King was in a Field-Marshall's Khaki uniform

King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American hospital, Dartford, near London. The king couldn't wait until he got inside a ward to talk with the wounded. On his way to the first of the wards he notices a row of wounded cots out doors, whom the Brooklyn nurses had brought out so that they might enjoy the warm autumn sunshine. The King led the Queen and the Princess Mary over among these. The Queen showed much interest in the nurses as well as the wounded men and asked them many questions about their work. The photograph shows the King talking with Colonel E.H. Fiske of Brooklyn, commander of the hospital. Princess Mary is visible just behind the Queen, and near her the Chief Nurse, Miss Annie Mack of Brooklyn
