...went to work in the first field ambulance unit of her father's army, binding the wounds of her father's soldiers. Without introductions, but with her father's dignity, she talked to her patients. She posed for photographers. She made a speech to the pink-skinned war correspondents. Earnestly she told them: "We will fight to the last breath and to the last inch; but, if we fail, civilization will be destroyed."
