THE YPRES TIMES
It was decided to hold a further Reunion next year, probably in September, and
the following were appointed to make the necessary arrangements -
Mr. J. F. Roebuck, 5, May Street, Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, Yorks.
Mr. L. Harris, Reninghelst, Ivy House Lane, Coseley, Staffs.
Mr. J. M. Rees, 8, Craven Park, Harlesden, London, N.W.10.
Mr. K. R. W. Deighton, 24, Mount Street, Lincoln.
Mr. N. Crabtree, 76, Bentgate Street, New Hey, nr. Rochdale, Lanes.
Mr. J. R. Wyld, 197, Haslingden Old Road, Rawtenstall, Rossendale, Lanes.
The efforts put forward to trace old members have, unfortunately, in many cases
not been successful owing to a change of address, but progress has been made and we
THE 62ND FIELD AMBULANCE O.C.A. REUNION.
are now in touch with about eighty of the old members. You are, therefore, asked to
help in this matter of extending and keeping the register up-to-date by notifying any
of the members responsible for the next Reunion of any more of the old members with
whom you can get in touch, and also any change in your address.
Unfortunately Mr. J. A. Pridham was unable to attend, but a telegram was received
from him during the afternoon wishing good luck to the old 62nd Field Ambulance,
and this was passed round amongst those present.
Numerous inquiries were made about absent friends, and ample proof that the
real spirit of friendship which prevailed amongst the old boys, is still there, was shown
in many ways during the evening.
It was realized that owing to the bad trade and conditions which have existed
for some considerable time many of the old boys must have had a hard struggle to make
ends meet, and the wish was expressed that if any member feels that he can spare a
little towards helping an old comrade to attend the next Reunion, he will do so by
forwarding a contribution to Mr. J. F. Roebuck at the address previously mentioned,
