HIS MAJESTY’S APPEAL FOR RECRUITS.
London, October 22
The King has addressed the following message to the Empire: “To My People.—At this grave moment in the struggle between my people and a highly organised enemy, who has transgressed the laws of nations and has changed the ordinance that binds civilised Europe together, I appeal to you. “I rejoice in my Empire’s efforts. I feel pride in the voluntary response from ray subjects all over the world, who have sacrificed home, fortune, and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free Empire which their ancestors and mine built. I ask you to make good these sacrifices.
“The end is not in sight. More men and yet more men are wanted to keep my armies in the field, and through them to secure victory and an enduring peace. “In ancient days the darkest moment ever produced in the men of our race the sternest resolve, I ask you, men of all classes, to come forward voluntarily and take your share in the fight. “In freely responding to my appeal, you will be giving support to our brothers who for long months have nobly upheld Britain’s past traditions and the glory of her arms.”
