![1_l t It was with great regret that the Board of Management learned of the death of His Majesty King George V. His late Majesty honoured our Hospital by conferring upon it the title of “ Royal ” in recognition of the work done here during the War on behalf of our wounded soldiers and the sick and suffering of the district. At the meeting of the Board of Management held on January 23rd, 1936, the following resolution was passed :— “ That the Board of Management, Medical Staff, Nursing Staff and Patients of the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital humbly express to Her Majesty the Queen our deep sorrow in the loss she and the nation have sustained, and assure her of our loyal affection and sympathy in her bereavement. May we also express to His Majesty King Edward VIII our respectful loyalty upon his accession to the throne. We know his sympathy in the work we are engaged in. He has shewn it often by word and deed. May he have long life and health to reign over us, and may God give him strength to carry the great burden of kingship that he is now called upon to shoulder.” ] I](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31685146_0014.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
