King George V and Queen Mary inspect a guard of honour of American soldiers at the Eagle Hut in Aldwych in July 1918 in honour of Independence Day. The YMCA supplied British servicemen away from home in the UK and overseas with a place to eat, drink, relax, and write letters home. As American troops arrived in large numbers, the organisation committed to supplying a home from home for them in England's capital.
