TO OUR NEW MEMBERS.
With each edition of The Ypres Times we
are pleased to have the opportunity to welcome
those who have enrolled as members of the
Ypres League during the past quarter, and we
are happy to report that some are already making
their interest felt at Headquarters in helping
us in more ways than one. In particular we
would like to mention Mr. Victor Hyde, M.C.,
who joined the League on July 14th. He
immediately placed his name on the roll of our
August Bank Holiday pilgrimage to Ypres, and
contributed an interesting account of the trip,
which appears on page 230. In addition to
this valuable support, he has taken the trouble
to give us a list of prospective members, and put
us in touch with likely persons to contribute
articles for The Ypres Times, the result of
which has brought us an exceedingly fine article
by Lieut -Colonel G. S. Hutchison, D.S.O., M.C.,
see page 236.
In answer to the question, frequently asked
How can members help the League We
would refer the keenest of them to adopt Mr.
Hyde's example. Notwithstanding his ex
tremely busy city life, he finds time to call
frequently at Headquarters, which is very
much appreciated. For his practical support
in the various departments of the League's work
he is deserving of our very grateful thanks, and
we look forward to his future co-operation.
Another valued membership is that of Mr. H.
R. Mack, Hon. Secretary, 5th London Field
Ambulance, who joined the League together
with a number of his old comrades after their
battlefield tour (see page 234). We are also
honoured to add to the register new members
from the provinces and overseas. It is hoped
that all will take a prominent part, particularly
in recruiting, because it must be realized that the
life of the Ypres League depends entirely on
keeping up its membership, and it is only
with combined effort that success can be
achieved.
We want to conclude the old year with a
goodly influx of new members to prove that
1931, with all its hardships, has not curtailed
the interest in the League. Thanking you in
advance for your generous support.
