One of the most impressive ceremonies since the Armistice took place on November 11, the ninth anniversary, when members of the Old Contemptibles' Association, survivors of the immortal retreat, revisited Mons to pay tribute to their fallen at the spot where they first came into conflict with the Germans. The picture shows the party marching through Mons again, although in vastly different circumstances to those in which they went to meet the Germans in 1914. -Central Press, photo.
