Excerpt from Seeing It Through: How Britain Answered the Call

At this moment, when all these and other social and political disputes at home and in our Colonies had us entangled in a very Gordian knot of difficulties - the enemy struck. And in a flash all our discords ended, and the whole British Empire, united as it never had been united before, rose out of chaos and stood four-square against the common danger. NO wonder Germany was surprised we were a little surprised ourselves at the instant unanimity with which all' our warring elements coalesced and, as at a sudden bugle-call, were gathered into a loyal and mighty brotherhood with a single determination shaping all its energies - a determination to fit itself Swiftly and at any personal sacrifice to cope with and crush for ever the most ruthless, the most soulless renas cence of barbarism that has ever threatened the peace and hopes of the civilised world.
