ABSTRACT

The following morning, by Sir Lewis Stanley’s special permission, General Rudd was carried to Dabenham in an ambulance by men selected from his own battalion of the City Territorials. The surgeons agreed that it would be far better for him to be borne in this way than in an ambulance wagon or a motor car. Margaret had been warned of his coming, and the library- the very room in which he had held so many councils of war—was converted into a bedroom for his use.
