Women and the War
Sir, —Does "Indignant" wish us women with relatives at the front to go about casting gloom round about us? Methinks this is just what Hitler and his satellites would love us to do. At the present time in the dear Homeland hundreds of persons are losing those most dear to them, and yet, from all accounts, they proceed cheerfully about their duties, acclaiming, "We can take it.” This is the spirit a Britisher loves, and long may we inherit it. I have a son with the First Echelon in Egypt, and when taking his departure for the front to fight for Indignant and Co. all his last words to me were, “Please don’t ever look glum, but keep smiling.” KEEP SMILING.
