Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

When people are wounded, it has an impact on morale. As I am in poetic mood, may I just say what Padre Woodbine Willie said in 1918? He put it perfectly:"““There are many kinds of sorrow""In this world of Love and Hate,""But there is no sterner sorrow""Than a soldier's for his mate.””" The wounded not being dealt with properly has an impact on morale.
