Humanity - Patriotism is Not Enough - Statue
Walking north from St. Martin in the Fields church, towards St. Martin's Lane, I came across this statue to Edith Cavell labelled Humanity. The inscriprtion reads - "Patriotism is not enough, I must have no hatred of bitterness for anyone."
I looked up the following link on Wkipedia - a very stirring account of a woman who put the lives of others ahead of her own, and was subsequently shot by the Germans in World War I. Mount Edith Cavell, in the Canadian Rockies, which I have marvelled at was named after her.
