"Who shall mock or grudge the overpowering entrancements? Every Allied nation shared them. Every victorious capitol or city in the five continents reproduced in its own fashions the scenes and sounds of London. These hours were brief, their memory fleeting; they passed as suddenly as they had begun. Too much blood had been split. Too much life essence had been consumed. The gaps in every home were too wide and empty. The shock of an awakening and the sense of disillusion followed swiftly upon the poor rejoicings with which hundreds of millions saluted the achievement of their hearts desire.
"There still remained the satisfaction of safety assured, of peace restored, of honor preserved, of the comforts of fruitful industry; of the homecoming of the soldiers; but these were in the background; and with them all there mingled the ache for those who would never come home."
-Winston Churchill, 1928.
Though they are gone, their memory is with us still.
