September. Rolling back barbarians. De Gaulle in Paris. Wartime restrictions to go (slowly). Term starts with "Now thank we all our God". Arnhem.
Wednesday, Sept 6th
On the last Sunday of peace Billy Temple, Archbishop of York, said, “Crisis is the Greek word for Judgment…. every emergency which is fitly described as a crisis tests the character and faith we have so far acquired and throws light on the course of events, including our own conduct, which led up to that emergency”. The light thrown on our own conduct of affairs was lurid enough!..… But we came through the judgement until now with powerful allies and immense resources we are rolling back the dark barbarians from the face of Europe.
