midst of the fray to fight the Hun by the
side of their dauntless ally. I heard them
singing and laughing in their water-logged
trenches in Flanders, and I saw them, agile
as leopards, leap from their parapets and,
led by a boy officer swinging his cane, spring
forward to meet death half-way as joyously
as though to welcome a friend.
I know that Tommy will play the game,
it is the game he has played so often and
played so well, it is the old game between
Right and Wrong!
I know what stuff he is made of, that
mighty fighter; I know that his heart is
sound and that his arm is strong. Strike
hard, Tommy, strike your hardest! It is
the salvation of the world you are fighting
for! I have known all along that you were
coming. I have known it ever since I was
a boy and began to read the History of
England! I have known it all along, but
God bless you all the same, Tommy, for
coming! And God be thanked that you
came!
