Solicitors’ War Memorial: Sir — The Lord Chancellor, the Right Hon. Lord Birkenhead, has very kindly consented to unveil, 4th March, a visible memorial to the solicitors and articled clerks who fell in the war. The space in the society’s hall is limited and will not allow an attendance exceeding 600. After much thought, the trustees have decided that the relatives of those who have died are entitled to first consideration. The addresses of the relatives are known the trustees only in less than half the cases, and the object of this letter is, through your courtesy, to invite the relatives all solicitors and articled clerks who fell in the war to communicate at once with the Clerk to the War Memorial Trustees, the Law Society’s Hall, Chancery Lane, London. W.C. 2. Having regard to the probable number of applications from relatives, it has been decided that only the nearest can hope to be invited, and it is possible that even a ballot may have to be taken. The 13th February has been fixed as the date when the names of those who can be asked to attend the ceremony will finally be determined, and relatives who desire that their names should then be considered are requested at once to write to the Clerk to the Trustees as below, and obtain from him the necessary form of application. The trustees very much regret that possibly some relatives cannot, and that certainly neither the subscribers to the fund nor the profession generally can be invited, but arrangements will be made for the society’s hall to be open to visitors for the purpose of inspecting the memorial between the hours of 3 and 5 on each week-day, except- Saturday, for a period of three weeks after the 4th March next. —Yours, etc., R. A. PINSENT. Chairman of the Memorial Trustees: Law Society Hall, Chancery Lane, London. W.C.2, January 31.
