When George V died, his widow, in a surprising act, sent to Wilhelm II a little golden box which the king was very fond of. The former Kaiser, after many years without speaking with her, wrote a letter in response, beginning with "deeply moved, my cousin" :'-( This story is told by author Miranda Carter in her book 'Three Emperors'.

Well, he certainly introduced some badly needed new military ideas, just as the war was in stalemate again, french army desserting etc. John Monash was a great Australian General, his brainwave was to have the infantry closely follow the artillery barbardment, and attack the German lines, immediately, before they could recover, and attack our troops. It sounds obvious, but rerquired great accuracy and training, so as NOT, to kill our own men. It worked a treat, and the Germans gave in. I have some Australian Postage stamps, one is commemorating Monash.

A video about a British King on St.Patrick's. The Irish Nationalists will be triggered for sure.

George V: Its over Wilhelm! I have the moral high ground! Wilhelm: You underestimate the greyness of the Great War. Historians: Don't try it.
