IMMORTALISING BRITAIN’S WAR HEROES
Four Memorials Unveiled ONE CONTAINS 14,690 NAMES United Fresi Association. —By Electrit f Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 11 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 4. The requiem for thousands of heroic dead was sounded by tho voice of tho 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, Pouiercs, Vis-cn-Artois and Louvcrval. Sir Nevil Macrcady, quoting Lawrence Binyon’s noble poem “We Shall Remember Them,” pointed out that most of those named on tho Loos memorial belonged to the first hundred thousand men who came from England at the earliest call. General H. Smith Dorrien unveiled tho Pozieres memorial with its 14,690 names. « An impressive ritual of prayers, tho Last Post and minutes of silouco followed by the British and French National Anthems conferred fitting uniformity upon each ceremony.
