Attention is again drawn to the League's easy
payment scheme for those desirous of visiting
cemetries, memorials and battlefields in France
and Belgium.
Our Saturday to Tuesday 4 day trips at
EASTER, April 20th to 23rd, WHITSUNTIDE,
June 8th to 11th, and AUGUST BANK HOLI
DAY, August 3rd to 6th will be organised as in
past years and forms with particulars will be
gladly forwarded on application to those wishing
to avail themselves of these easy payment
facilities.
For the fourth successive year, our Purley
Branch have kept abreast of other Branches in
the matter of recruiting, and although very
closely pursued by both the London and Col
chester Branches in 1934, they retain the honour
of enrolling the greatest number of new members
for the year and thereby win the £5 prize.
Purley members themselves must indeed feel
proud of their Branch's recruiting achievements,
and we are sur.e that by extending headquarter's
heartiest congratulations and gratitude to their
Committee we are also voicing the sentiments of
all our members.
The London and Colchester Branch Committees
are to be highly commended for their respective
efforts and strong challenge they have given to
the successful branch, and it gives us great
pleasure to announce that a similar prize will be
offered for 1935. We shall watch with interest
to see whether Purley can complete a nap hand.

Copies of the October, 1933 edition would be
very welcomely received by headquarters from
members who can reasonably spare them.
We are exceedingly disappointed to announce
that our Ypisode Competition, full details of
which appeared in the last October edition of
the Ypres Times," has met with such a poor
response that we have very reluctantly decided
to cancel the competition.
We have had an exceedingly welcome visit
to headquarters from Mr. James Armstrong of
Edinburgh, one of our most ardent of supporters.
During his visit he generously presented to the
League, a specimen of the veritable Seal of
Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard. The
design was executed by the bard himself and
bears the following inscription
WOOD NOTES WILD
BETTER A WEE BUSH THAN NAE BIELD
The original seal was gifted by the ladies and
gentlemen of Edinburgh to Robert Burns in the
year 1786-87.
We express our sincere thanks to Mr.
Armstrong for his very generous gift which we
are having framed for the headquarter office.
