AN APPEAL BY THE KING

To My People:

“At this grave moment in the struggle between my
people and a highly organized enemy who has transgressed
the laws of nations and changed the ordinance that binds

. civilized Europe together, I appeal to you,

“I rejoice in my Empire’s effort and I feel pride in the
voluntary response from my subjects all over the world,
who have sacrificed home and fortune and life itself in
order that another may not inherit the’free empire which
their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to male
good these sacrifices. a

“The end is notin sight, More men and yet more 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 has ever produced in men of our ruce
the strongest resolve. I ask you, men of all classes, to
come forward voluntarily and take your share in these
fights. ;

“In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving
your support to our brothers who have long since upheld
Great Britain’s past traditions and the glory of her arms.”’
