The following is extracted from a leading article from "Under The Colors", a Salvation Army magazine for His Majesty's Sailors & Soldiers, dated September 1917.

Sir Reginald Hart, V.C., K.C.B., K.C.V.O.

Message from a V.C. General

General Sir Reginald Hart, V.C., K.C.B., K.C.V.O., Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, Who has recently been mentioned in dispatches, is a staunch friend of Service-men. General Hart has a direct and soldierly way of saying what he means, especialy when he sees the highest interests of Service-men at stake. We print with special pride the message the General was kind enough to send to the Editor of this magazine. The message referred to is as follows:-

"Dear Sir, I have to thank you for sending me a copy of "Under the Colors." My best wishes for its success. Drunkeness and crime are only the effect - the cause is alcohol." Yours faithfully, Reginald C. Hart, 'General.'
