of the general public, they too will be welcomed and will be admitted, at the discretion
of the Steward, between the hours of 10.30 and 12.30 from Monday to Friday, though
it is regretted that on Saturdays and Sundays the House must be closed to them. Such
visitors must be prepared to spend at least half an hour there in order to get an insight
into what the Old House means and stands for. P. A. S.
THE photograph herewith reproduced with the kind permission of an ex-prisoner
of war, Mr. J. Gibbons, late 1st Bn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers, shows the life in
prison camps. The mixed gathering, with Mr. Gibbons in the rear rank, consists
of British, French, Belgian and Russian troops lined up on the square for roll call before

GIESSEN CAMP, 1917.
Mr. Gibbons now resides at 43, Lamont Road, Chelsea, S.W.3, with a wife and little
girl aged three years, and like many other ex-soldiers finds a great problem in obtaining
employment. He therefore takes this opportunity to appeal through the columns of
The Ypres Times in the hope of claiming the sympathy of any member of the Ypres
League who may be in the position to give' him employment of a general nature, for
which he would feel most grateful, and respectfully requests that all communications
be addressed to him through the Editor, Ypres Times, 9, Baker Street, London, W.i.
