Greetings and Salutations ...
I thank the most Noble Lord Beaverbrook for his generous Introduction, and further pledge my utmost Enthusiasm and Ardour, if not quite sufficient Talents, toward the great project that is this website.
Most Honourable friends, our way of Life is under attack and has been for some time. The Institutions that we hold Dear - those made of Flesh & Bone - the very ones that are Superior in every way to the worship of a mere piece of Cloth (the "Flag Fetish of Republicanism"), require that every Man, Woman & Child do their historic Duty, and rally to the defence of the Crown.
In the words of the Great Bard of The Avon:
"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
Perhaps we go to the St. Crispin's Day Speech and King Henry V too often, but that does not detract from the appropriateness of the message, and our heartfelt desire to maintain our precious inheritance.
Onward Bound! Soldiers of the Queen !
As the late General Sir Arthur Currie stated on the eve of the great German Offensive of 1918:
"Today the fate of the British Empire hangs in the balance. I place my trust in the Canadian Corps knowing that where Canadians are engaged, there can be no giving way. You will advance or fall where you stand facing the enemy. To those who will fall, I say, you will not die but step into immortality. Your Mothers will not lament your fate but will be proud to have born such Sons. Your names will be revered for ever and ever by your grateful country and God will take you unto Himself. I trust you to fight as you have ever fought with all your strength, with all your determination, with all your tranquil courage. On many a hard fought field of battle you have overcome the enemy. With God's help you shall achieve victory once more."
I remain your most Humble Servant,
etc & etc ...
