WORDSWORTH, Sonnet xxvi PREFACE THIS book is named after my son who
was killed in the War. It is divided into three parts. In the first
part some idea of the kind of life lived and the spirit shown by
any number of youths, fully engaged in civil occupations, who
joined for service when war broke out and went to the Front, is
illustrated by extracts from his letters. The object of this
portion is to engender a friendlyfeeling towards the writer of the
letters, so that whatever more has to be said in the sequel may not
have the inevitable dullness of details concerning an entire
stranger. This is the sole object of this portion. The letters are
not sup posed to be remarkable though as a picture of part of the
life at the Front during the 1915 phase of the war they are
interesting, as many other such letters must have been. The second
part gives specimens of what at present are considered by most
people unusual communications though these again are in many
respects of an ordinary type, and will be recognised as such by
other bereaved persons who have had similar messages. In a few par
ticulars, indeed, those here quoted haVe rather special features,
by reason of the assistance given by the group of my friends on the
other side who had closely studied the subject. It is partly owing
to the urgency therein indicated that I have thought it my duty to
speak out, though it may well be believed that it is not without
hesi tation that I have ventured thus to obtrude family affairs. I
should not have done so were it not that the amount of premature
and unnatural bereavement at the present time ril viii RAYMOND is
so appalling that the pain caused by exposing ones own sorrow and
its alleviation, to possible scoffers, becomes almost negligible in
view of the service which it is legitimate to hope may thus be
rendered to mourners, if they can derive comfort by learning that
communication across the gulf is possible. Incidentally I have to
thank those friends, some of them previously unknown, who have in
the same spirit allowed the names of loved ones to appear in this
book, and I am grateful for the help whichone or two of those
friends have accorded. Some few more perhaps may be thus led, to
pay critical attention to any assurance of continued and happy and
useful existence which may reach them from the other side...
