Ladies, to whom the Military Medal has been awarded and who have not yet furnished particulars of their service, etc., for this Roll, are requested to communicate, without delay, with Lieut.-Colonel J. H. LESLIE, 31, Kenwood Park Road, Sheffield. PREFACE. October, 1918, by N 24 the House of Commons decided 274 votes to 25 that women should be admitted to the Mother of Parliaments. It is only a few years since that the majority of their fellow-countrymen denied with laughter that women were worthy even of the vote. To what is due this astonishing volte-face Surely to the fact that after living for three generations in a hot-house atmosphere of illusions generated in the music-hall, England was suddenly compelled to face the fierce and terrible realities of life. Our country was called upon to fight or die; and it did not take her long to choose her course. From the outbreak of War it was clear that this was not a struggle of Armies against Armies, but of Peoples against Peoples, of Ideals against Ideals, of Organism against Organism.
