On Tuesday p.m., the Women’s Emergency Corps
Formed objectives, meeting at the Kingsway Theatre.
Chaired by Lady Aberconway who spoke how public
Needs, were now being filled by their organisation.
The Women’s Corps had been
in out the field first
In Belgium to assist the Belgians, prior to their
Move to France and how they took up instructions
Of British Soldiers into the language of the French.
Lady Aberconway declared how Britain before war,
Gained from Austria and Germany toys in their
Millions - but now was the time for Britain to make
Such children’s toys - orders for which were growing.
In assistance came the colonies with many samples
Sent to South Africa and elsewhere – these locations
Are very likely to place great orders for Christmas.
GK Chesterton made a statement in regard to the role,
That women were taking and how they now came
To civilisation’s
rescue - their forces would
reverse
Inherent wrongs, thus redirecting the correct course.
In this statement Chesterton says this will be
The greatest war that the world will ever see -
That women were symbolic as an emergency force.
