"Chivalry of Army
Applied to Flyers by British Premier
LONDON, Nov. 22. "The Chivalry of the Army" was the title bestowed upon the British air forces by Premier Lloyd George In a tribute he paid to thm In a recent speech in the House
of Commons. The premier was moving a vote of thanks to the British armies and navy. Of the aviation service he said: "The heavens are their battlefields, they are the cavalry ol the clouds. High above the squalor and the mud, so high in the firmament that they are not visible from each, they fight out the eternal Issues of right and wrong. Their struggles there by day and night are like a Miltonic conflict between the winged hosts of light and
darkness. "They fight the foe high up and they fight him low down, they skim like swallows along the ground, attacking armed men in their trenches. They scatter nifantry on the march and destroy convoys. Every flight is a romance, every record is an epic. They are the knights of the war, without fear and without reproach. They recall the old legend of chivalry, not merely by the power of their individual exploits, but by the nobility of their spirit, and among the multitude of heroes we must continuously thank the chivalry of the Army."
