    EPIGRAPH: The senior mistress of Bournemouth High School for Girls spoke these words to her sixth form in 1917: 'I have come to tell you a terrible fact. Only one out of every ten of you can ever hope to marry. This is not a guess of mine. It is a statistical fact. Nearly all the men who might have married you have been killed. You will have to make your way in the world as best you can.'
