IT gives me great pleasure as Patron of the Ypres League, to send greetings to every
member of that body which so admirably and successfully keeps alive the memory
of the heroic defence of the Salient and of the sacrifice of those who gave their lives
for their Country.
I trust I may yet be spared to perform the Annual Ceremony of the laying of the
wreath which, year by year, symbolizes our commemorative work.
We are celebrating this year the twenty-fifth anniversary of His Majesty The King's
accession his reign will always be memorable as that in which the greatest war in
history took place, and also for the wonderful display of loyalty and devotion from
every corner of his Empire. During such a year the League should make a special
effort, and I should like to see each member try to swell our numbers by enlisting at
the very least one from among his comrades of the Salient. Success in such a com
bined effort will ensure both the expansion and the continuance of our special aim,
which is to keep green the memory of heroic devotion and noble self-sacrifice.
