  won and more deservedly bestowed.

  Entente, that fill the hearts of both their countrymen and 

  their adopted countrymen with pride. Such chivalrous

  bravery in the face of an unscrupulous enemy provides not only

  a bond between Danes and Englishmen, but a lesson that

  every neutral man and woman may well take to heart.
