WAR GRAVE PILGRIMS
AFFECTING SCENES IN FRANCE,
(Received Ist October, 2.30 p.m.)
PARIS, 30th September. A thousand pilgrims to the British paves in France returning to England held a massed service at the quayside in Boulogne. The youngest was eleven years and a number over seventy. Some had gathered stransre impressions of what the last resting-place of their relatives was like from such names as "Flatiron Cop," "Sunken Road," "Crarify Corner." When they say the beautifully laid-out cemeteries, they, realised how well their beloved dead were cared for. Many broke down and wept. As they left Boulogne, the mothers assembled on deck and sang- "Abide With Me."
