Commander", and more.  A 3 1/2 by 6 1/2 inch image with the subtext "The historic scene at Elizabeth College... as the Channel Island's Commander, Brigadier Snow read the King's Message and his own Proclamation."  The text of both are included - God Save The King!  This is a great report to have in a Guernsey paper!
