This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and causes. This is a War of the Unknown Warriors; but let all strive without failing in faith or in duty, and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from our age - with roads, castles, trees, rivers and a Scale of Miles at the bottom.
