Text of note, beneath emblem of "Windsor Castle":

Soldiers of the United States, the people of the British Isles welcome you on your way to take your stand beside the Armies of the many Nations now fighting in the Old World the great battle for human freedom.

The Allies will gain new heart & spirit in your company. I wish that I could shake the hand of each one of you & bid you God speed on your mission.

     April 1918.
