SOUVENIR OF THE MEN WHO FELL.
A most original and artistic souvenir of the war has been conceived In the form of a bronze model of the Cenotaph which was erected in Whitehall, London, as a memorial to the fallen and past which inarched, in homage to the dead, the brave and splendid troops of the Allies. The model is a replica, its height .'being 71 inches, including a wooden stand made from the actual wood of the original cenotaph, which adds a considerable historic and sentimental value to the fnodel. The latter has been executed with considerable taste and delicacy of workmanship, and as a memorial of those who fought and fell is eminently appropriate and dignified, entirely free from the vulgar and commonplace. The model, including the original cenotaph wood stand, can he purchased for six guineas, and the proceeds are to be devoted to St. Dunstan’s AfterCare Fund for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors. There are probably many New Zealanders who would like to' possess this unique souvenir, and full particulars can be obtained from the Organising Secretary. St. Dunstan’s After-Care Fund. 306 Regent street, London, W.1., Englund.
