The colonel discovered his loss as he was about to board the train. He hurriedly probed his pockets, searched his luggage and his hotel room and finally appealed to the palace staff.

"This great nation," he told the house of commons, "has got into its war stride; it is accomplishing the transition from the days of peace and comfort to those of supreme, organized and indomitable exertion." Winding up debate on the manpower conscription bill after promising commons a chance to vote on it later, Churchill explained that Britain had about 4,000,000 mr under arms, counting the home guard; that the plan for the army, with the exception of equipment for ten more divisions, was unaltered from the early days of the war. it is a very large and formidable force, both for fighting overseas and for defense," he said.

He went on to say that the bulk of the "vast series" equipment, munitions and supply plants started in 1939 are just now coming into production. He continued: "I say that in the next six months we shall have, for the first time, an intense demand on manpower and womanpower. we are now about to enter, for the first time in this war, a period of manpower stringency because we have come to have the apparatus and lay-out which this manpower and womanpower will be required to handle."
