Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

The King is commemorating Leese’s promotion from Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath to Knight Commander in the same Order, a promotion that had actually been conferred a year before in 1943.
