It reads: '...In every man's life there is one supreme hour towards which all early experience moves, and from which all future results may be reckoned. For every individual Briton, as well as for our national existence, that solemn hour is now striking.' The title text is position at the top within a red rectangle the quote follows and both are framed with a red border.
