“THE MILLION DEAD”
HEW CHAPEL IN THE ABBEY UNVEILED BY PRINCE OF WALES (British Official Wireless.) Press Association~By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, June 24. (Received June 25, at 11.30 a.in.) The Prince of Wales to-day unveiled in Westminster Abbey the new chapel to the memory of “the million dead.” The shrine, which is close to the Unknown Warrior's grave, is to be called the Warriors’ Chapel. An anonymous donor, who died some months ago, contributed half the cost of the chapel, and the balance was collected in pennies from mothers of the British Empire who lost sons in the war. Members of the Mothers’ Union of all parts of the world were represented in the congregation, which consisted mainly of women.
