PATRIOTISM IS NOT ENOUGH

Edith Cavell was a British nurse tried by a German court-martial in Brussels, and later executed by firing squad. She had been helping Allied soldiers trapped in German-occupied parts of Belgium to escape into neutral Holland. Her case was skilfully used by the British authorities of the day to boost the recruitment of soldiers at a time when there was no conscription.
