TRIP TO YPRES.
The Committee are considering a trip to
Ypres in 1931, either at Whitsuntide or August
Bank Holiday, exclusively for members and
friends in the London area. A week-end
Saturday to Tuesday is suggested, and it is
hoped to raise a party of 50 persons. Some
may not be in the position to defray the total
cost of the trip in one sum, so the Committee are
giving consideration to an instalment system.
Will all those in the London area who are
interested, kindly send their names to the Hon.
Secretary, London County Committee, who will
forward full particulars when arrangements are
completed.
MADEMOISELLE FROM ARMENTIERES.
Memories of the war and of one of the most
famous of British Army songsMademoiselle
from Armentieres have been recalled by the
mysterious death of Mile. Laure Millanquet at
La Chapelle d'Armentieres.
She was 44 years old. In 1914 and 1915 she
was a beautiful young woman, the centre of
attraction in the little billeting village behind the
British lines, where she had taken refuge.
Mile. Millanquet had lived alone since the
war, and it was whispered locally that she was
mourning for some young lover who had been
killed. Certainly she refused many offers of
marriage and rarely left her solitary house.
She was found dead, and it was thought that
she had committed suicide. Police investiga
tions, however, have led them to doubt this
theory, and a search is being made for a man
who, it is said, was seen to leave her house the
night before her death was discovered.
