Prior to his departure, Lord Roberts
made a speech, during the course of

out the hand of fellowship to those
who had been their enemies.
when blessed peace is restored
said the field marshal, Joy will tell
them that we are all one in one coun-
try; that we have one interest and
that we honor them. They have been
fighting for a wrong cause, having
been induced to do so by their misguid-
ed rulers. Nevertheless, we honor
them for fighting for the liberty which
we ourselves so thoroughly believe in.
And now, in the spirit of liberty, truth,
justice and freedom, we are prepared
to extend these privileges, which every
Englishman values, to those who have
been fighting against u.s."
