These remarks will fitly find a place at the conclusion of our work. In the meantime let us not forget that if errors of judgment have been committed, they have been committed by men whose zeal and patriotism has never been doubted. We cannot refrain, however, from alluding here to the greatest of all the lessens which this war has taught, not us alone, but all the world--the solidarity of the Empire. And for that great demonstration what sacrifice was not worth making!
