Author Description

Excerpt from Pensions and the Principles of Their Evaluation: With a Sections on Pensions in Relation to the Eye As the fog of War recedes, the insensate havoc wrought stands forth in bleak relentless clarity the abomination of desolation. Its aftermath of human suffering, that vast dumb heap of anguish inarticulate, how sense, much less compute, the sum thereof How, too, approach the lesser task - wherewith mete out the measure of the individual sacrifice For in the fell clutch of circumstance to this are we as a profession committed, and this, too, without hope of evasion. Onerous alike our responsibilities to State and soldier - to defend the one from imposition, to secure to the other his lawful rights. What, too, of our debt to the fatherless and the widow, most poignant of war's victims - bequeathed to us in solemn trust, price of that greater love unpaid and unpayable.
