The raffle raised £166 for The Chelsea Hospital fund. Our trip to Ypres May 10th and 11th was a huge success, with 49 people travelling on the coach, which included 7 standards. Our band performed a Beating Retreat in the square on Saturday evening, which was watched not only by us but lots of local people who were very impressed with the band. The band, our Veterans and the standards marched from the square to the Menin Gate for the Last Post ceremony. Our Vice- President laid a wreath on behalf of the branch. The band, Veterans and Standards then marched back to the square. What a marvellous evening. The following day we visited war graves at Essex Farm where our President laid a wreath on behalf of the branch, Hooge Chapel and Hill 62. A great weekend helped greatly by glorious weather.
