KING EDWARD’S HORSE
PILGRIMAGE OF VETERANS LONDON, August 8. (Received August 9, at 11 p.m.) A party of veterans of King Edward’s Horse, through whose ranks 2000 Dominion soldiers passed in wartime, recently made a pilgrimage to the battlefields of France, led by Colonel George Gray Russell, and attended a service at the regimental Memorial Stone at Vieille Chappelle, where the regiment made a heroic stand in the battle of Lys in 1918. Colonel Lionel James informed the Australian Associated Press that it was hoped shortly to reconstitute the regiment, as it carried the name of the present King.
