Believe me, sir, such an effort would do more to stimulate a high patriotic fervour than anything you could devise. We have the testimony of our leading generals that the boys think more about and are helped more by this sort of activity at home than by any other effort. We ought to send our memorial program, suitably printed, to every boy gone from the county.
Shortly before he died upon the field of honor, Britain's youngest brigade commander, General Bradford, V.C., M.C., who was only 28, said to his men:
"Regard me as a friend, and by the help of God I will lead you to the best of my ability. Your interests are mine.
"Shortly we shall attack, and your powers of endurance will be tested. Do not let them fail you.
"Above all, pray. More things are wrought by prayer than the world imagines. It is God alone who can give us victory and bring us through this battle safely."
For God's sake, let's keep up our end.
Yours faithfully,
WM. H. BRIDGE.

When the searchers returned they found that one of their men was missing. He was last seen setting up a machine gun in a shell hole. Two officers went back to look for him and encountered a German outpost, the fight that ensued.  One enemy was killed and his body was brought back to the American trenches.
