impression on our members in America and be
instrumental in persuading some of them to join
our pilgrimages should they find the opportunity
during their visits to this country.
A hearty vote of thanks is due to Mr. S. H.
Geiler, who helped so admirably in capacity of
conductor for one of our Whitsuntide parties,
and equal gratitude is extended to our repre
sentatives at Ypres and Arras, viz. Mr. C. J.
Parminter and Mr. P. Vyner respectively, for
the genial and efficient way in which they look
after the comfort of each individual member of
the party.
We have recently had a very welcome visit to
headquarters from Capt. Stuart Oswald, our
representative at Amiens, and it would give us
•great pleasure to avail ourselves of his kind
services in conducting a pilgrimage to Amiens,
but in spite of liberal advertisement, it is strange
to relate that no applications have been received
for visits to that centre.
Purley and Colchester are fully alive to the
importance of Recruiting new members," and
the first six months of the year result in even
marks to these two faithful Branches.
The London County Committee continue their
well-organized reunions which have important
effect in keeping up the interest among our
London members, and we thank Major Montague
Jones, Mr. Boughey and the Committee for the
sterling service rendered.
The year 1932 was notable for the number of
new members recruited and we look optimistic
ally on 1933 not only to swell the membership
but to increase the popularity of our pilgrimages
to France and Belgium which play such an
important part in keeping a reunion of those to
whom the Ypres Salient and other parts of the
Western Front mean so much.
We conclude by thanking all who have devoted
such a big slice of their precious time for the
welfare of the League during the past quarter.
