Inscription description
letter: The King commands me to assure you / of the true sympathy of His Majesty and / The Queen in your sorrow. / Secretary of State for War; verse: I sat in a tree-shadowed / walk called The Brampton / and meditated on the war, / It was one of those / shimmering autumn days / when every leaf and flower / seemed to scintillate with / light, and I found it “ very / hard to believe that not far / away men were being slain / ruthlessly……. / It is impossible, I concluded / to find any satisfaction in the thought of… / the distraction of men…. / whether they be English, / French, German or / anything else, seems a / crime to the whole march / of civilisation.” / Vera Brittain / 1914 / from Testament of Youth 1933
