B ATTL EFIELD PILGRIMAGE.
LARGE PARTY IN FRANCE. AFFECTING SCENES.
(Received 29, 9.25 a.to.) London, April 28. Seven hundred members of St. Barnabas Pilgrimage Fund, drawn from from all parts of the Empire, arrived at Boulogne in order to visit the battlefields and tombs of relatives killed in the war. The party were accompanied by six priests, and included men, women and children of all ages. They were motored to Wimereux, two miles north of Boulogne, where a moving spectacle was presented when the pilgrims knelt beside the graves and prayed in pouring rain and a driving wind. An officer of the Imperial Graves Commission is acting as guide.—(A. and N.Z.)
