Title: A letter from Lord Kitchener, 1915 [Go to resource]
Description: In this letter Lord Kitchener thanks Howard Palmer for help in recuiting soldiers. He asks for continued "help to keep our forces in the Field at the maximum strength". Finally - somewhat ominously - he writes "I shall be glad to hear any reasons that may be given by young and suitable men for not availing themselves of this opportunity to see service in the Field, where they are so much wanted." This letter provides a good example of the way the second generation of the Palmer family moved away from Quaker traditions, including pacifism.
