 I have just had to conduct an exam at Glasgow University. It was held
in a new hall I had never been in before, normally used used for
military training. It had, besides a large picture of the Queen on the
wall ( circa 1958 by her apparent age ) , a huge, freshly painted motto
on the wall facing the candidates reading:

'The British Empire expects service from all her sons, It expects the
most service from those to whom the most has been given.'

 

Except of course from royal princes, who are now excused from service in
Iraq!
