Thk Sixth Annual Reunion A Grant» Smoking Concert Community Singing 94 THE YPRES TIMES The Duke then took the salute from the various columns as they marched past while the Metropolitan Police Band played stirring tunes. A great cheer from the public greeted the Old Contemptibles as they marched past the saluting point. The various units then proceeded to dismiss and we came away from the ceremony feeling proud to have taken part in such a parade. The London County Committee desire to thank all those members and friends who attended and joined in the League's contingent. Another parade, it is hoped, will take place on Sunday, October 28th, 1928, to commemorate Ypres Day (October 31st). Full particulars will appear in the next issue of The Ypres Times. ANNUAL SMOKING CONCERT. On Thursday, October 18th, 1928, at the Caxton Hall, Caxton Street, Victoria Street, S.W.i, will be held the Sixth Annual Smoking Concert organized by the London County Com mittee, who are engaged at the present time dealing with the arrangements for the concert, full particulars of which will appear in the next issue of The Ypres Times. All the annual concerts given in the past have been well sup ported by members of the League and the Committee trust they may still have the same kind help that has been given in the past. To the members of the Committee the arrange ments of these concerts entail a very heavy amount of spade work, but they rely upon the individual members of the League to make them a success not only by attending themselves, but by advertising them. An excellent programme will be given and it is hoped again to add community singing of the old war-time choruses during the evening's performance, so it will be a great encouragement to have a full hall. May we hope you will do your level best Ladies are also invited. FLAG APPEAL. It is the earnest wish of the London County Committee to have a flag which can be used for all ceremonies in connection with the Ypres League, and it has been suggested that some lady residing in London might be willing to undertake this work. We should be grateful if anyone interested would kindly correspond with the Honorary Secretary, London County Committee, Ypres League, 9, Baker Street, W.i, who will give full particulars of the suggested design. Material will be supplied. of MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE YPRES LEAGUE Organized by the London County Committee will be held at the CAXTON HALL, CAXTON ST., VICTORIA ST., S.W.I On THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 1928 The Committee cordially invite all Members and Friends of The League to meet together at The Caxton Hall, Victoria St., S.W.I, on Thursday, October 18th, 1928, when will be given, also Doors Open at 7 p.m. Concert Commences at 7.30 p.m. Full particulars will appear in the next issue of The Ypres Times"
