The Ypres Times.
On April 5th, Lt.-Col. E. P. Cawston was appointed the temporary representative
of the League in Belgium, with his headquarters at the Chateau of Brielen. Col. Cawston's
assistance in this capacity has been greatly appreciated by all who have sought information
about graves, cemeteries, present condition of old battle sites, and about travel facilities,
accommodation, and transport.
On December 15th last it was decided to form an Executive Committee which would
meet more frequently than the General Committee to discuss the accounts and those
matters of the League calling for immediate attention.

Several of these were co-opted to serve also on the Executive Committee.
