The Ypres Times.
Belgium if placed on the grave by relative, 9/-
if placed on the grave by our representative. All
are constructed by disabled men. If desired
bunches of cornflowers, equivalent in value to the
cost of a wreath, will be supplied to any applicants
who may wish to make up wreaths for themselves
to place at their own memorials on anniversaries
when their loved ones gave their lives near Ypres.
Samples of cornflowers (at about 7/6 a gross) will
be sent to anyone interested. These flowers can
be used for a great variety of purposes, viz.,
buttonholes, sprays, garlands for decorations for
bazaar stalls, etc.
Two Ypres League Stalls at the béte de
l'Entente Cordiale, held at the Hotel Cecil, were
most effectively and inexpensively decorated with
cornflowers pinned or pasted in various designs on
cardboard.

concert and sent a donation to the funds of the

MEMBERSHIP.
On the day the Ypres Times arrives and you are
reminded by seeing this appeal I do ask you to-
send a postcard to your local Honorary Secretary,
who is depending on you to do this.
We are determined not to lose any of our mem
bers without making a strong effort to re-awaken
their former interest and are sending this issue of
the Times to many who have ceased to communi
cate with us in the hope that the excellence of the
number, and the aims for which we are striving,
may be the means of largely increasing our mem
bership. We want members who have dropped out
to rejoin and new members to present themselves.
Last night 12 members formed themselves into a
committee to develop the London County brooches.
They are determined to leave no doubt in the minds
of the inhabitants of London that the Ypres-
League is here to stay and that its intention to
persist in its very numerous aims will on no-
account be abandoned. I appeal to all to join.
By your help our aims can be amplified. The
League is open to those who served in the Salient
and relations or friends of those who died there.
It is really open to all in the name of the unknown
warrior. The Liverpool Branch is already arrang
ing for October 31stlet us make a great effort on-
this day this year throughout the country.
