By saying that Private Jordan had "answered the call" his parents are telling us that their son was a volunteer, that he had answered the recruiting posters' call to arms. The use of the word 'nobly' is an echo of the words King George V used in his message to the expeditionary force - "I have implicit confidence in you my soldiers. Duty is your watchword, and I know your duty will be nobly done".
