Legion County Conference: Steady Progress: Two New Branches Opened During the Year: The annual County Conference of the British Legion was held at Winchester on Saturday, when the County President (Brig.-General T. N. S. M. Howard) welcomed the Mayor of Winchester (Major J. R. Pinsent) a life member of the League, who greeted the delegates. The British Legion said the Mayor is a body worthy of support for many years to come, because it perpetuated the one bright memory of the late War, the spirit of comradeship. “We do feel.” he added, “that if only that spirit can be spread throughout the country and throughout Europe our troubles would vanish into thin air.” (Applause.) The County President thanked the mayor and his predecessor for the admirable organization of Poppy Day, which had produced the record sum of over £900 from Winchester and district.
