Honour Roll

World War II

excerpt from 1946 Valediction by Laurie Moncreiff

For the past six years, the countries of the world have been engaged in a bitter and costly war. Costly in the sense that many young men and women gave up their school books for rifles, gave up their future as engineers and nurses to help preserve the democratic ideal. Let us not forget that to them we owe a deeper debt of gratitude. They gave their lives in order that you and I might be able to pursue our aims. Let us not fail them. They died winning the war, let us live making the peace.
