The Queen's Visit to Netley Hospital: Her Majesty speaking to Private Lever, wounded in the Indian Frontier Campaign, 1898. 'The Queen and her Soldiers...Surgeon-Colonels Notter and Stevenson, Brigade-Surgeon Webb, and Surgeon-Majors Dick and Kelly were presented by Surgeon-General Nash, as also was Miss Norman, the Lady Superintendent, who accompanied the Queen on her rounds to the beds. Some thirty wards were thus visited, and the beds of something like four hundred men. Private Clow, of the Buffs, whose leg was amputated in the Mohmund Valley, was one of the first to be seen by the Queen...Private Edwards, another Indian Frontier fighter, through whose cheek a bullet went and came out at the back of his neck, had the gallantry to declare to her Majesty, in reply to her inquiries, that he suffered no pain. Corporal Gray...explained to the Queen that he was suffering from paralysis which attacked him as a complication of sunstroke while on the march from Rawal Pindi to Barracol. "I do hope you will soon get better," was all that her Majesty could say to him as to other sufferers...Nine wounded men from Malakand were visited, including Private Lever, who is suffering from rheumatic fever as well as from his wound'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
