Chapter V: Part 5

What is the chief lesson we should carry away from these Lectures? Is it not that the Empire can only be defended as a whole, and with the full co-operation of all its citizens? Surely then it is the duty of each of us to uphold the flag and to learn something of the defences of the Empire, and of the way it should be guarded and its rights and honour maintained before the world.
