ABSTRACT
The one amongst you who will volunteer his life, let that man raise his hand! (Every hand on the instant raised—picture). True British pluck!! Good! I accept you all. Listen. We are the sole protectors of the little ones. Pleading women, weeping children call upon us now to act as men. Tonight not one of them may remain alive. But if they must die, we must die first defending them! Immediate service calls to me. Here are my orders! … Place yourselves between the defenceless and the foe. Remember the regiment you belong to, and when you strike, strike home! For them—the helpless and the innocent—your country and your Queen!
