Extract

“We are all pacifists now”; or if not, it is difficult to see what excuse we have for living in the modern world. I feel therefore that a word of apology is needed for a paper on a military subject. But I hope you will acquit me of any intention to revive the hatred and bloodthirsty panic that poisoned the years 1914 to 1918, because the activity that I have to tell you about is not concerned with the destruction of life but rather with the saving of it.
