'"Somewhere" in France', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The way in which the material and physical needs of the [British] army in the field were ministered to was one of the minor marvels of the Great War. Their spiritual welfare was not neglected, for large bodies of the clergy forsook the comforts of their parish and donned khaki. The Bishop of London [Arthur Winnington-Ingram] is seen addressing a battalion from the floor of a transport wagon.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. III, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
