FORGOTTEN GRAVES

Armistice Day Memory

To the Editor of the "Nonru-Cunxa Dany News"

Sm—Yesterday people witnessed impressive ceremonies of Remembbrance, at the Cenotaph, at the Cathedral, and at Jessfield 'Park, but Twonder how many went, as we did, out to Hungiao asd cemetery after these services to find the graves those "who died on active' service utterly forgotten and neglected, Twas mot in Shanghai in 1927, but I have heard again and again from irlous sources how thankful Shangilanders were for the British Brigade sent at that time. The men lying in Hungjao are nearly "all members of that Brigade, who, when quartered in makeshift eamips," fell victims to dysentery and malaria It would bea small thing for these grateful people to place some token on the graves on November 11, for surely these men made. the supreme sacrifice, qutle es much those who died 1914-1018, Porry, Shanghai, Nov. 12.
