Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pro Patria Et Rege: Poems on War, Its Characteristics and Results, Selected in Aid of the Belgian Relief Fund, From British and American Sources In the year 1901 I issued a small book entitled Pro Patria et Regina, in response to an appeal by her Majesty Queen Alexandra, in behalf of her Soldiers´ and Sailors´ fund. The country now unfortunately stands in need of a larger fund for a more stupendous cause. We are involved in the most gigantic and perilous War that History records; and every Briton must do what in him lies to co-operate in the struggle for Right against Wrong, for the Public Law of Europe and international Honour against selfseeking Despotism - with the Anarchy to which it invariably leads - and in behalf of the relatively weak against the numerically strong. There is no doubt that the present War is the most appalling that has ever happened. Neither the ancient nor the modern world has known any thing like it, not only in the number of combatants engaged, or the kind of weapons they have used - by land, sea, and air - but also in the wide-spread desolation which has followed, the ruthless butchery of human beings, the villages as well as cities set on fire, priceless Art-treasures overthrown, and even whole libraries destroyed by the invaders.
