What a truly magnificent spirit was shown in that letter of your
son! Indeed, we who remain behind are more to be pitied than
those who go forth into Eternal Peace by such a noble and
luminous road.

Mr. Alexander Mackintosh, its Parliamentary correspondent, writing in
the _British Weekly_, said:

Lieutenant Paul Jones, as an occasional visitor, was familiar to
the Press Gallery. Oxford has lost another young man of unusual
gifts, a scholar and an athlete, as modest as he was brave, and
the Gallery has a sense of personal loss. Yet it bids his father
say, in the beautiful apostrophe which Rustum puts into the mouth
of the snow-headed Zal:

"O son! I weep thee not too sore,
For willingly, I know, thou met'st thine end!"

Mr. Arnold White ("Vanoc") in the _Referee_ for August 12, 1917:

Just before his death Lieutenant Paul Jones wrote a letter which
deserves record on imperishable bronze. This young officer has
given a new lustre to the name of Paul Jones.

Messages of condolence were received from the King and Queen, the
Prime Minister, Cabinet and ex-Cabinet Ministers, the Army Council,
members of both Houses of Parliament, clergymen, London and provincial
pressmen, scholars, soldiers, labour-leaders, newspaper and
journalistic societies and political associations. Letters came not
only from the four countries of the United Kingdom, but also from
France, Palestine, South Africa, India and Canada. These sympathetic
expressions from far and near, from the exalted and the humble, prove,
if proof were needed, that the memory of brave soldiers like Paul
Jones, who have sacrificed their lives in a great cause, is cherished
with gratitude and reverence by their countrymen.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
