Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Future of the Disabled Soldier
I have written this book in the hope that it will help those to whom we owe so much - the men disabled while protecting our hearths and homes from the ravages of the savage enemy.
It is sad for those left behind to mourn the loss of a soldier killed in the War. But his fight is over; the wounded men, hindered by their injuries, have still to fight the battle of life. Much is being done to help them. Their Gracious Majesties, the King and Queen, whose sons run the same dangers as their subjects, have set us a noble example in this work as in all others appertaining to the War. Much is due to Queen Mary's encouragement of the efforts made at Roehampton and Brighton, to train these disabled men in skilled occupations.
Although much has been done, there is yet still need for further effort. Already the disabled soldier is to be seen begging in the streets. We cannot entirely prevent this degradation, yet we can do away with any necessity for it.
