It is curious that her sister, the Duchess Duch-ess of Westminster, is just as busy doing the same kind of services for British soldiers in England. They are daughters of Colonel Cornwallis-West.

His father finally succeeded in finding him and brought him back to his mother. The prince and princess entertained the kaiser at the Silesian castle in the early campaign in Gallcia.
