TO OUR NEW MEMBERS.
In each quarterly edition of The Ypres
Times we are always pleased to address a short
letter to new members. We heartily welcome
all who have joined during the past three
months, and we feel confident in your loyal
support in persuading others to become
members of the League, for there are many who
would be anxious to enrol immediately they
are conversant with our aims and objects.
We are always endeavouring to keep alive
the Immortal Defence and we appeal to
all, especially to those who served at Ypres to
do everything in their power to extend the
League's interests at home and abroad.
The loan of The Ypres Times to non-members
will serve as good propaganda, and in the event
of an individual member's copy being lost or
mislaid we shall be very glad to replace it
free of charge. We would like our members to
apply to Headquarters for membership forms
and so save the trouble and delay of writing
to us each time they find a prospective recruit.
We are now approaching the Ypres League
Annual Commemoration at the Cenotaph on
October 31st, which is known as Ypres Day.
This day marked the crisis of the first Battle of
Ypres when our line was saved at Gheluvelt.
In addition to commemoration the League
endeavours to keep up the wartime spirit and
fellowship, and it is our duty to ask all our
members to join with us in the work of promoting
our aims and objects. There are many thou
sands of men in civil life who can never forget
the dark days in the Ypres Salient, who ought
W. P. Pulteney, Lieut.-General,
Hon. Secretary,
9, Baker Street,
London, W.
by right to be members of the League and
possess the beautiful Scroll Certificate which is
given them in order that they may have a
record of their service for themselves and their
descendants.
We beg to remind our new members that the
best way they can help is by adding to the
League's membership, and we wish you every
success in this work.
