one could accuse her of being a militarist but she formed
her Southwark Company in order to introduce the boys of the
East London
slums to the virtues of order, cleanliness, team work and
self-reliance. Her thoughts were always for the betterment
of the individual. The present conception of the Army Cadet
Force as a voluntary youth organisation, helped and inspired
by the Army, really stems from that time and has continued
throughout the ACF’s history. |
