The miracles of to-day are all at the service of the wounded laddies.

And I've seen things I'd no ha' believed were possible, had I had to depend on the testimony o' other eyes than my own.

I've seen men sae hurt that it didna seem possible they could ever do a'thing for themselves again.
And I've seen those same men fend for themselves in a way that was as astonishing as it was heart rending.
The great thing we maun all do wi' the laddies that are sae maimed and crippled is never tae let them ken we're thinking of their misfortunes.

That's a hard thing, but we maun do it.

I've seen sic a laddie get into a 'bus or a railway carriage.
