Emperor Williams proclamation reads: Serious years of war lie behind you. The German people, convinced of its just cause, resting on its hard sword and trusting in Gods gracious help, has, with its faithful allies, confronted a world of enemies. Your victorious fighting spirit carried the war in the first year into the enemys country and preserved the homeland from the horrors and devastation of war.

In the second and third years of the war, you, by your destructive blows, broke the strength of the enemy in the East. Meanwhile, your comrades in the West offered a brave and victorious front to enormously superior forces. As the fruit of these victories, the fourth year of the war has brought, us peace in the East. In the West the enemy was heavily hit by the force of your assault. The battles won in recent months count among the highest deeds of fame in German history.

You are in the midst of the hardest struggle. The desperate efforts of the enemy will, as hitherto, be foiled by your bravery. Of that I am certain and, with me, the entire fatherland.
