Bishop Taylor Smith, Chaplain-General to, the Forces, preaching at Westminster Abbey, told a story of self-sacrifice. A wounded Australian soldier in a military hospital, who Was asked about his home and family in Australia, said: ― “There were six of us lads and mother. We all enlisted, and left mother alone it was her wish. She said she hoped no boy of hers would hold back when the Mother Country called. And now five of us are asleep, buried on the battlefields of France, and I am the only one left.” There were a few moments of silence, and then he added: “But, I have not told you the worst. When I got this wound-someone cabled to my mother that I had been killed, and that telegram killed her.”
