Satisfaction with Sir Reginald Blomfield's design of the church has been
expressed on all sides by those who have visited Ypres, and there is no doubt that
when the church is completed it will be a very worthy memorial.
The Parsonage.
The foundations of the parsonage are now well advanced. In digging them
the workmen came upon old oak piles that formed part of the Quay at Ypres in
the fourteenth century and ran apparently for some distance at right angles to the
present Place d'Elverdinghe; they were so firmly embedded that it was found
impossible to remove them.
The School.
The school is now finished, and will be opened at the beginning of next year.
We publish below a reproduction of the Framed Roll of the names of the 342
Etonians who lost their lives in the neighbourhood of the Ypres Salient. This
Memorial Scroll has been placed in the school.
