BRITISH LEGION.
CONFERENCE IN LONDON. \ ■' PROCESSION TO CENOTAPH. (BT CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION OOPSBIGHT.) (Sydney "Sun" Service.) LONDON, June 8. The Duke of York, addressing a conference of 800 delegates, representing 2488 branches of the British Legion, said history had revealed the unedifying truth that however a nation might remember great its' memory of those, who made victory possible was generally short. This would have been true of the Great War but for the Legion, which every three years made itself a definite place in the life of the nation. To-day the Duke of York and Earl Haig headed a procession of 3000 legionaries to the Cenotaph, on which they jointly placed a large poppy wreath.
