The Ypres League. Appeal by THE COUNTESS of YPRES
ELEVEN years ago to-day, in the Ypres Salient, the climax of the German offensive was reached-and passed. To celebrate this feat performed by the Allied Armies, and to commemorate the hundreds of thousands of their dead who lie buried there, a fund has been formed to build, on the rampart on the bastion immediately to the west of the Lille Gate, the Ypres Memorial Church. It has been designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield , and its estimated cost is £10,000. To raise this sum, and an additional 15 per cent, for maintenance, is the object of an influential committee, presided over by Lord Plumer.
