One saw too that men did desire to be strengthened by the past. If we had known the past so that it became almost a part of our own memory of things, and sustained and comforted as good memories will, then half the history of England would have been behind the armies in France, taking some of the awful strangeness from the experience of terrible things. For, wherever they went in France, they went where other Englishmen had been before them, and had done and suffered much as they, had marched a...nd been weary, had sung and drunk, and fought and died. Almost the first steps that the new armies took towards war were on the earliest graves of the race. The great camps of Britain are more full of ghosts than the most ancient of her towns. Salisbury Plain is ' populous with our oldest dead, ' and the Curragh, in Ireland, lies among the ancient camps, and is a place of legends that still inspire men. There is the tale of ON THE MEMORY OF WARS 17 St. Bridget St. Bridget, worker of miracles, who came in from watching her sheep one wet day and laid her ROUND TOWER, KILDARE, NEAR THE CURRAGH cloak to dry on the rays of the sun the tale of how she freed the Curragh.
