LONDON COUNTY COMMITTEE.
The London County Committee are pleased
to announce that the Fourth Re-union Smoking
Concert will be held on Thursday, October 21st,

The Ambassador and Military Attaché of
Belgium will be present and it is hoped that a
representative of the French Embassy will be
present.
The programme has been arranged by the
Opieros Concert Party, under the personal direc
tion of Mr. Tom Howell, and the Committee are
confident that a very enjoyable evening will be
spent.
Members and friends are asked to be sure and
secure a ticket early, and the Committee con
fidently appeal to all members to advertise the
concert as widely as is possible, for it is only by-
individual effort that its success can be assured.
All are asked to endeavour to make the event a
record one.
The Committee feel that there must be many
ex-Service men living in different parts of London
who would welcome the opportunity of meeting
once more to have a chat over old times spent
together, and may be you have a friend whom you
would like to meet again. Why not arrange to
meet him at the smoking concert on Thursday,
21st October. Early application, accompanied by
remittance, should be sent to the Hon. Secretary,
London County Committee, Ypres League, 9,
