Second World War
On the outbreak of the Second World War, Duggan rejoined the Life Guards as a Lieutenant, apparently in spite of medical advice. Wearing his military uniform, he voted against Neville Chamberlain in the Norway Debate in May 1940, thereby contributing to his fall. Later that year he ceased to serve on active duty. His health declined but he insisted that he would not be invalided out of the Army.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“Education is considered the peculiar business of women; perhaps for that very reason it is one of the worst-paid businesses in the world ...”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
