Default A letter to POW 1918

Hi All, I have been given today a letter from Buckingham Palace dated 1918
to
Private W.Gordon Dye 710172

It looks like a hand written, but printed letter saying welcome home from captivity.

Can anyone tell me which Regt W.Gordon was in.

Thanks Andrew.

Hello Andrew, I also have one of these letters sent to one of my Great Uncle's, I was informed that although it appears hand written by King George V they were as you say printed? Tim.

Can you confirm the exact name is it Gordon-Dye or just Gordon?
