CARILLON BELLS WILL HAVE HONOURED NAMES.
The bells . of the Grand Carillon will have in their casting the names of the givers and the names of men or events that are commemorated, and those words will be duplicated on tablets in the Memorial Sanctuaty at the base of the campanile. It is not possible to have the names of all the seventeen hundred dead on the bells, but the complete roll of honour will be conspicuous in the sanctuary. The inscriptions on the bells of the South African War Memorial Carillon at Capetown include these:— “In honoured memory of the
members of the staff of the Municipality of Capetown who gave their lives in the Great War, (9 i 4 ‘Their name liveth for evermore.’ ” “Delville Wood—July, 1916. To commemorate the valour -ot ttu. Fourth African Brigade. ‘The Draise of the city is the praise- ot these men, for they made her p-reat.’ ” “The League of Remembrance and Heh> made me in memory of the South Africans who fell during the Great ; War, 1914-1918. ‘There is neither speech nor. language, but their voices are heard amongst them.’ ”
