Greenhills, need not be recalled. The sad tragedy will not soon be forgotten. Very appropriately it has been decided that the memorial shall take the form of a challenge trophy to be competed for by physical drill squads from year to year. It will not be possible to win the troph/outright, but it will be held by the winners for the year whose names will be engraved upon it If funds permit It may possibly be .decided to give a cup or medals to the winners each year, but tho winning and holding of the trophy will in itself be a high honour. The movement is one that will command widespread support, and there should be no difficulty in raising a substantial amount. Subscriptions will be acknowledged in this place. The following amounts have come to hand: — £ 8, d. H. W. Royds - • 1 * 0 John Stevenson t 1 0 R. A. Anderson I 1 0 A. F. Hawke . . I 1 0 W. D. Hunt .. .. 1 1 0 J. E. Watson I 1 0 C. J.
