There was a great assembly on Vimy Ridge on Monday,
and on Tuesday the Prince joined the party at Bethune, and went on to Lille. On Wednesday, all gathered at the Merlin Gate at Ypres, which will evidently be for all time the chief and centre of all British memorials on the battlefields. There the memorial service of the Legion was held. The formal dignity of high ceremonial was then willingly and impressively adopted by all. Belgium was represented by her Prince Charles, France by Marshal Main and General Gouraud, both by their local authorities. After prayers, hymns and sacred music, the Archbishop of York gave a short but noble address upon the value of those sacrifices of the War which had brought to the world of this century the spirit and love of peace, as aimed at by the League of Nations and the Pact for the Renunciation of War.
