THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—I enclose a notice which I trust you may be able to
publish.—I am, Sir, &c.,
CHAS. FORD, V.D., Lieut.-Col.
The parade of ex-Volunteers and other officers and men who have passed out of the land forces of the Crown, and who are no longer eligible to serve therein, fixed for Sunday, July 5th, at 2.30 p.m., takes place in Trafalgar Square, for which the leave of the proper authority has been obtained, and not on the Horse Guards' Parade. Ex-non-commissioned officers are asked kindly to meet the Committee in the Square at 2.15 p.m. The object of the assembly is to demonstrate to the country the willingness of ex-Volunteers of all ranks to constitute a Reserve of citizen soldiers. A resolution approving the proposal will be put to the meeting. Similar gatherings will be held the same day in other parts of the country. Ex-Volunteers attending the meeting are asked to bring with them on paper, and hand in, their names, late rank and corps, length of service, address, &c. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the proper authority. All communications to Colonel Ford, V.D., Outer Temple, WC."
