A requiem for thousands of heroic dead was sounded by the voico of a trumpet to-day, when on the sixteenth anniversary of Britain's entry into the war four monuments, commemorating soldiers whose resting-places remain | unknown, were unveiled at Loos, Pozicrcs, Visenartois, and Longueval. General Sir Novil Macrcady, quoting Laurence Binyon's noble poem, "We Shall Remember Them," pointed out that most -of those named on I tho Loos memorial belonged to the first hundred thousand men who came from England at the earliest call. General Sir 11. Smith-Dorricn unveiled the Pozieros memorial, with its 14,G00 names. /An impressive ritual of prayers, the "Last Post," and minutes of silence, ■followed by the • British and French National Anthems, conferred a fitting uniformity upon each ceremony.
