Athens has been commemorating by the erection of a handsome monument the death 10 years ago of Rupert Brooke, the young English poet who died of sunstroke on a French hospital ship in the ZEgean. The new monument will contrast with that which covers his resting-place. When his companions-in-arms laid him to rest in the island of Syeros they heaped over his grave a pile of unhewn marble, and at the head the men of his, company .placed a cross which they had made, and at the foot the men of his platoon placed a smaller one of their making.
