“The King realises that this is the third beloved son you have given to your Country’s cause, and His Majesty trusts that you may be granted strength and comfort in the further sorrow which you have been called upon to bear.” – a Letter of condolence sent on behalf of George V to Francis Martineau Lupton, The Duchess of Cambridge’s great-great-grandfather.
Today at imperialwarmuseums, The Duchess of Cambridge viewed this letter, and other documents, relating to the lives of her great-great-uncles, Francis, Maurice and Lionel Lupton, who all fought and died in the First World War.
