II --....._A Day of Reverance

It has been increasingly satisfying for theChaplain to work with the officers-and men ofthe Group. I have felt underneath all the funand frivolity, a healthy seriousness which is bestshown in a high regard for the deeper thingsof life.

As we continue together I am confident thatevery man will prove himself true to the highestideals of our country and of our respective re­~gions.

Each man has his own religious at-titude and outlook, but in the workwe do there is a unity of purpose, anda common sharing of responsibilityand danger which puts us all onequal footing and demands real co­operation and brotherliness.

It is the Chaplain's high privilegeto go with the men the whole wayand to help them in any and everyproblem.

In being true to the Great Com­mander we will best support ourGroup Commander.
