As the U.K. celebrates VE Day this week, Prince Harry is sending his own special thanks to a fellow military veteran.

随着英国本周庆祝VE日的庆祝活动，哈里王子（Prince Harry）向一位退伍军人提供了自己的特别感谢。

Private Joseph Hammond, a World War II veteran from Ghana, was honored by the Duke of Sussex ahead of his 100th birthday on Saturday. Hammond shared in a May 7 post on X that he met ambassadors from the Invictus Games, which Harry founded, and received a related gift.

来自加纳的第二次世界大战资深人士约瑟夫·哈蒙德（Joseph Hammond）在周六的100周年之前就受到了苏塞克斯公爵的尊敬。哈蒙德（Hammond）在5月7日在X上的帖子中分享了他遇到了哈利（Harry）创立的Invictus Games的大使，并收到了相关礼物。

“It was a great honour to welcome the @WeAreInvictus team to Ghana, just ahead of my birthday this Saturday!” Hammond shared. “I was honoured to receive the Invictus Medal Coin from #PrinceHarry."

“很荣幸欢迎@weareinvictus团队来到加纳，就在这个星期六的生日前！”哈蒙德分享了。 “我很荣幸从#PrinceHarry那里获得Invictus奖章。”

In return, Hammond said that he gifted Prince Harry with a copy of his memoir, “in recognition of his unwavering commitment to veterans’ welfare.”

作为回报，哈蒙德说，他给哈利王子赠送了他的回忆录的副本，“以表彰他对退伍军人福利的坚定承诺。”

Hammond first met Prince Harry in 2019 when the royal family hosted an event to honor veterans from the British Commonwealth. Hammond served as a mechanic in Myanmar — then known as Burma — during the Second World War, fighting alongside British troops.

哈蒙德（Hammond）于2019年首次与哈里王子（Prince Harry）会面，当时王室举办了一场活动，以纪念英联邦的退伍军人。在第二次世界大战期间，哈蒙德（Hammond）在缅甸（当时称为缅甸）担任机械师，与英军一起战斗。

“This man, especially, Prince Harry, I glued myself to him because he is also a soldier, he’s been to Afghanistan, and we spoke about the military, my battalion,” he said at the time. “We exchanged ideas. It was wonderful.”

他说：“这个人，尤其是哈里王子，我把自己粘在他身上，因为他也是士兵，他去过阿富汗，我们谈到了军队，我的营。” “我们交换了想法。这真是太好了。”

The following year, Hammond embarked on a grueling 14-mile walk to raise money for frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He later received a letter from Prince Harry praising his efforts.

次年，哈蒙德（Hammond）踏上了一条艰苦的14英里步行路程，在19日大流行期间为前线工人筹集资金。后来，他收到了哈里王子的来信，称赞他的努力。

"Even at ’95 years young,’ I imagine it was not an easy task,” Harry wrote. “However, given the service and selflessness you have demonstrated throughout your life, it does not surprise me that you would take on a challenge such as this – and that you wanted to walk even more miles. As you said yourself, it is amazing!"

哈利写道：“即使在'95岁的时候，我想这也不是一件容易的事。” “但是，鉴于您一生都表现出的服务和无私，这并不令我感到惊讶的是，您会承担这样的挑战 - 并且您想走更多的英里。

Harry also sent Hammond the “warmest wishes” from himself and his wife, Meghan Markle, noting that it was a privilege to have met his fellow veteran the year prior.

哈利还向哈蒙德（Hammond）送出了自己和他的妻子梅根·马克尔（Meghan Markle）的“最热烈的愿望”，并指出，一年来认识他的老兵是一种荣幸。

“It was an honour and a pleasure to meet you at the Field of Remembrance in London last year,” he said, adding that Hammond had set a “fine example to the world.”

他说：“去年在伦敦的纪念领域与您会面是一种荣幸和荣幸，”他补充说，哈蒙德为世界树立了一个“很好的榜样”。

Prince George also marked the event with a royal first: attending a tea party for World War II veterans at Buckingham Palace.

乔治王子还以王室的第一名标记了这项活动：参加白金汉宫的第二次世界大战退伍军人的茶会。

The Prince and Princess of Wales' eldest son follows his father as second in line to the throne. At the tea party, he similarly mirrored his dad’s role, sitting beside him just as he often does at public events (including Aston Villa soccer matches!) and joining both his parents in greeting and thanking the gathered veterans.

威尔士王子和公主的长子跟随他的父亲在王位上排名第二。在茶话会上，他同样反映了父亲的角色，就像他在公共活动中经常（包括阿斯顿维拉足球比赛！）一样坐在他旁边，并与他的父母一起问候并感谢聚集的退伍军人。
