UNITED THEY FELL
WAR GRAVES TEACH EMPIRE LESSON. By Telegraph—Press Assn,—Copyright. London, November 8. "If the Empire requires courage to face the difficulties through which she is passing, I suggest a visit to the war graves, which perpetuate the Empire's unity,” said Sir Granville Ryrie, broadcasting from London on a reeeut tour of the war graves. Even if victory had not given all we hoped, we had gained and built on the sacrifices of our bravest and best. This was the first model of Imperial unity and permanent and free partnership. Sir Fabian Ware, introducing Sir Granville-Ryrie, said that if we wanted to realise the number of men of the Empire who died for freedom we must imagine them on Armistice Day marching past the Cenotaph in fours. Th»y would take 84 hours to pass.
