OBEYING THE CALL
HOUSE OF LORDS’ MEMORIAL
LONDON, Saturday
The Prince of Wales unveiled in the Boyal Gallery of the House of Lords a memorial to members and their sons who fell in the war. The memorial consists of two bronze figures on a marble pedestal, typifying youth offering a sword to the country. Oak panels bear 24:5 names. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops of Exeter and Sheffield attended, and the Chapter Royal Choir, attired in scarlet and gold, sang. The Prince recited the services of those who had obeyed the call. He said: i‘ On every battlefield they sleep, as they fell, with faces to the cast looking toward the morning.” The trumpeters of the Horse Guards sounded "The Last Post.”
