We shall have, in a later issue of the Ypres
Times, good news to report concerning this
year's Annual Concert, which takes place at the
Caxton Hall on Ypres Day, Saturday, October
31st. A programme of exceptional merit is
already promised us, and apart from strong
professional support we have been asked to
appeal for amateur actors and vocalists amongst
our League members resident in London, who
would be able to undertake evening rehearsals
commencing at the latter end of September,
Will any interested member please communicate
with the Concert Committee, Ypres League, 9,

REUNION DINNER AND DANCE.
The London County Committee wish to draw
your attention to the Seventh Annual Reunion
Dinner, to be held this year on May 7th, at the
Royal Hotel, Woburn Place, W.C.i (See page
190.) It is hoped that we shall see a record
attendance, because this is the only Reunion
Dinner held in London during the year, so we
trust that as many as possible will favour us with
their presence. We want you and your friends
to come. Success depends on individual mem
bers and the help they are able to give us by
advertising this important and popular function.
Application for tickets, together with remit
tance (price 6s. 6d. per ticket), should be sent to
the Hon. Secretary, London County Committee,
Ypres League, 9, Baker Street, W.i. Members
are asked to apply for tickets not later than
May 4th.
PILGRIMAGE TO YPRES.
Arrangements are now being completed for the
trip Saturday to Tuesday during the August
Bank Holiday week-end. We have already
quite a good muster, but should like to increase
the number. Full particulars can be obtained on
application to the Hon. Secretary, London
County Committee, Ypres League, 9, Baker
Street, W.i.
RECRUITING COMPETITION.
The London County Committee strongly
reminds its members about an announcement
which appeared in the last edition of the Ypres
Times under the above heading, and call upon
the London members to be up and doing."
If only every member in the London area would
contribute a fair share in the recruiting, by
December 31st we shall be able to show a good
result. But the fact remains that many of us
prefer to leave it to the other fellow," the
consequence of which nothing is done. The
work must not fall upon a few. If you are a
London member please put your back into it and
get at least one new member into our ranks before
the end of the year. This is not asking too
much of you, and please see that the application
form is marked London County Committee."

To the Secretary,
Ypres League. 19/12/1930.
Dear Sir,
We beg to acknowledge receipt of a photo
graph you obtained of a soldier's grave in France,
namely, the late 749 Pte. H. W. Smith, 31st Bn.
A.I.F., who was buried in Heilly Station Ceme
tery. We wish to commend you on securing
us the photograph. For a period extending over
five years we had been endeavouring to secure
this photograph through the Defence Depart
ment, and they in turn were negotiating with
St. Barnabas' Hostels, but to no avail. How
ever, to the credit of the Ypres League, within
a few months of our original request the photo
graph was forthcoming, which we much
appreciate.
The Ypres League is well represented in Bris
bane, and we are maintaining the traditions and
dignity for which the word Ypres stands.
With all best wishes to our headquarters.
Yours faithfully,
C. H. Green,
G. Lawson,
Queensland Representatives,
Ypres League.
