Background
The Prince enlisted on August 7th 1914 and arrived in France that November. He spent WWI in France and Flanders as a Staff Captain at various HQs, apart from visits to Egypt and Italy, in all sectors visiting the troops at the front as often as he could, on bicycle or in a royal Daimler. This could be dangerous (his driver was killed by shrapnel at Loos) and the Prince was awarded the M.C. in 1916.
