A good many Territorial regiments, including our own, have been asked
if they--or at least some of their number--would be willing to serve
abroad if required. It is generally considered very unlikely that
Territorials would be sent to any places of real importance if they
volunteered to serve outside of the British Isles. I have felt quite
sure that you would wish me to go wherever I was most needed, and it
makes little difference whether that is at home in this country or
elsewhere, and so I have told them that I for one was quite willing
to serve abroad if it was required. I have had no hesitation at all
in saying this, because I have felt so clearly led to the view that
it is the right thing to do in case it should be necessary, and I
know that you will feel the same.
