“Patriotism is not enough.”
Today marks the anniversary of South Norfolk’s Edith Cavell’s execution in 1915. As flowers surround her London memorial, her final words still resonate:
“I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone.”
"Ask Father Gahan to tell my loved ones later on that my soul, as I believe, is safe and that I am glad to die for my country."
