Excerpt from Betty Stevenson, Y. M. C. A., Croix De Guerre Avec Palme: Sept. 3, 1896-May 30, 1918
Tms story of Betty's twenty-one years has been printed, first because she was one of a big family Of friends who loved her dearly, and who wanted to have a record of her life and death which another generation might still remember, when our stories and memories are silent. And secondly, because it seemed to us, who knew and loved Betty best Of all, that, although she never thought of it herself, she had a message to give the world.
During the testing years of war, the spirit Of England has been kept alive and strengthened by the gallant devotion of those who fought and died for her, and whose motto, whether they knew it or not, was the vow Of Blake: I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.
