Excerpt from Armour and Weapons in the Middle Ages

The study of brasses has become of redoubled interest since the Great War, inasmuch as many examples on the Continent disappeared during the War years. In number these memorials were never very great, and could not bear comparison with those in the British Isles to-day, there fore, more than ever, England's proud position of being the home of sepulchral brasses, and the only country where they may be studied in their full development, is unchallenge able. The fact only needs to be stated to ensure that every patriotic child of Britain who sees a brass in danger of injury or destruction will make an effort to preserve it.
