THE YPRES TIMES
17
We have received from time to time letters from members regarding the Ypres
League Badge, expressing the unanimous opinion that the inscription Ypres" thereon
should be amended to read Ypres League."
The Committee, having given their consideration to the matter, have now decided
in favour of the alteration.
The badge, herewith reproduced, is brilliantly enamelled with silver finish, and
from now onwards will be recognized as the only official badge of the Ypres League.
In view of the fact that so many members are already in possession of the original
silver badge at 3s., the new one has been priced at 2s., post free, 2s. 1 id. (pin or stud,
whichever is desired), and it is expected that every member will be anxious to purchase
the new badge, which, we feel sure, will give the greatest satisfaction. Applications
should be addressed to the Secretary, Ypres League, 9, Baker Street, London, W.i.
