Does anyone know how many of the following letters were sent out? How many may still be around? What the value of such a letter in good condition might be? Handwritten letter from King George V to prisoner of war. Signed by king and dated 1918. With the following text: "The Queen joins me in welcoming you on your release from the miseries and hardships, which you have endured with so much patience and courage. During these many months of trial, the early rescue of our gallant Officers and Men from the cruelties of their captivity has been uppermost in our thoughts. We are thankful that his longed for day has arrived, and that back in the old Country you will be able once more to enjoy the happiness of a home and to see good days among those who anxiously look for your return."
