"I got your little line about the Memorial Service this morning. How tragic all is – I think the whole thing has come home to one more intimately than any other great collective calamity... The cruelty of the separations is almost unbearable – 19 widows under 23 – & one honeymooning couple of 18 & 19 – torn from each other... How disgusting this American censure of Ismay is."
