Afrikaans: Die koningin en haar gewonde soldate [?] koninklike party in een van die onderste sale van die Netley-hospitaal. Meer as ses honderd mans wat aan die Suid-Afrikaanse veldtog deelgeneem het, is deur die koningin gesien toe sy Woensdag haar besoek aan Netley gebring het. Dit was Haar Majesteit se vierde besoek aan die hospitaal oor die afgelope twaalf maande, en soos voorheen het sy 'n paar groot mandjies blomme vanaf Windsor saamgebring as geskenke vir die pasiënte. Dertien kolonialiste is onder die [pasiënte?] in die hospitaal, en die koningin, wat gevra het dat hulle aan haar uitgewys word terwyl sy deurbeweeg, het hulle bedank vir hul vrywillige dienste. Daar was vriendelike woorde en 'n bos blomme vir elke bedlêende soldaat, en so noukeurig het Haar Majesteit elke klein detail waargeneem dat sy een van die dienskussings hanteer het en gesê het dat dit nie sag genoeg was vir mans wat sulke pyn moes verduur nie – met die gevolg dat die pasiënte gemakliker kussings in die nabye toekoms kan verwag. Die koningin het in geheel 'n anderhalf uur in die sale deurgebring.
English: The queen and her wounded soldiers [?] royal party in one of the lower wards of Netley Hospital. Over six hundred men who have taken part in the South African campaign were seen by the Queen when she paid her visit to Netley on Wednesday. It was Her Majesty's fourth visit to the hospital during the past twelve months, and, as before, she took several large baskets of flowers with her from Windsor as gifts for the patients. Thirteen Colonials are among the [patients?] present in hospital, and the Queen, who had asked that they might be pointed out to her as she went along, thanked them for their voluntary services. There were kindly words and a spray of flowers for every bed-ridden soldier, and so closely did Her Majesty observe every little detail that she handled one of the service pillows, and said that they were not soft enough for men who had to endure such pain – with the result that the patients may expect more comfortable pillows at no distant date. Altogether the Queen spent an hour and a half in the wards.
