expressing loyalty and devotion,

Winning The War Brigadier-General Dudgeon said he saw that from certain articles appearing in the press a lot of people were claiming to have won the war. His own retort to that, from the British point of view, was that no single person won the war. The British soldier, in his opinion, irrespective "c, what rank he held, was responsible for victory.

The loyalty and devotion to duty displayed by those whom he had the honour to command was worthy of the very greatest praise. In a small way at various times he must have had about 38.000 people directly or indirectly under his command during the war, and not one of them let him down.

All that rubbish they written by certain people to-day was deplorable. Soldiera might be humble people, and in the opinion of certain politicians those who obtained high rank were fools.

That was not the truth. They might not be supermen but at least they liked to try to do their best in the interests of their King and country to win the day...,

Replying to a later toast, Major William Pettigrew (Royal Scots Fusillers) said he was glad to hear

those remarks on the treatment

which had been meted out to one who was near and dear to the hearts of all: ex-Service men.
