Reception of Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams at Dover - the Reading of the Corporation Ad Creator: Unknown
Reception of Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams at Dover - the Reading of the Corporation Address, 1856. The hero of Kars is welcomed at the Ship Hotel by the Mayor...in the most enthusiastic manner. General Williams [said] "...if the day comes when the repetition of this sacrifice shall be necessary, I believe there will be thousands who will give up their offspring as readily as the mothers who are now weeping for the loss of theirs; for woe to the nation that forgets the military art!...who heaps up riches, but who does not take the precaution to defend them (Hear). I have passed through armed Europe, and I take this...opportunity of uttering a warning to those who forget the military art."...the usual etiquette observed on such occasions was thrown aside, and, notwithstanding the presence of the ladies, a hearty cheer resounded through the apartment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
