I have just been looking at a revised casualty list . . . I should rather fear that John Manners & young Cecil may have been too impetuous and been taken prisoners.

Asquith discusses casualties, Venetia's plans, Winston's secret trip to Dunkirk, and the Home Rule procedure.

Mentioned:Col. Hogg • John Manners • Cecil • Aubrey Herbert • Mary Herbert • Castlerosse • Winston Churchill • Clementine Churchill • Sir John French • Kitchener • Beb • Oc • Cys • Redmond • Dillon • Lloyd George • McKenna • Charles Roberts
