No. 553.---The following telegram which has been received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies is published for general information :----
LONDON, 2nd November, 1920.
It has been decided that on Thursday, November 11th, being the second anniver- sary of the Armistice the Cenotaph in Whitehall shall be unveiled by His Majesty the King and that as part of the ceremony on that day there shall be buried in Westminster Abbey an unknown British warrior whose body shall be taken from amongst those buried in France. Every precaution will be taken to prevent his identity being known. The coffin will be brought to the Cenotaph where it will be met by the King attended by representatives of the whole of the Empire. There will be a short service at the Cenotaph consisting of the singing of the Hymn "O God our help in ages past' and the Lord's Prayer. This service will be so timed that the unveiling of the Cenotaph takes place at 11 a.m. exactly after which there will be two minutes silence followed by “last post". Wreaths will then be laid by His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and representatives of the Empire. The funeral procession will then proceed to the Abbey where the funeral service will take place the body being buried in a grave in the nave of the Abbey. It is proposed that, just as last year, there should be during the two minutes silence complete suspension of all normal business work and locomotion through- out the United Kingdom that the thoughts of all may be concentrated on reverent remem- brance of the glorious dead.
MILNER.
His Excellency the Governor trusts that on a signal being given by the firing of a gun on Murray Parade Ground at eleven o'clock all normal business will be suspended in the Colony and two minutes silence observed by the community.

Colonial Secretary.
