Daily Routine of King During War
A detailed portrait from the Daily Express shows King George's war day. He rises before dawn, reviews dispatches from Admiralty War Office Home Office and India Office, and notes marginal details for forthcoming conferences. Dispatches arrive in guarded blue boxes carried by royal messengers, opened only by two- key access. The king tracks army and naval matters, Indian and colonial aid, and uses Buckingham Palace plans to monitor troop disposition.
