After the Loyal Toast, the "Silent Toast” was also given from the Chair, a bugler sound- ing the Last Post and the
Reveille.
The Services
Mr. T. H. Blake in proposing the Services commented on the difference that would be noticed in the conversation of men who had been through the War, say in 1919, and now. Then the chief thing was "what shall I do in the next war?" The Staff was most favoured, then the Navy, because it took its bed about with it, and last of all "I'll be a Conscientious
Objector." Now that time had mellowed them all, even the war men who had been through the War, preferred on the whole to talk about its lighter side.
One advantage of life here was that we could still keep in touch with the Services though the great regret was that as soon as one got to know members of the Services and they got to know us and our ways they were moved on to other appointments:
They were all extraordinarily sorry to lose Major-General Luard and Commodore Pearson, both of whom had been good friends in- deed to the Association.

The Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gollan) in reply said that the first Armistice Day dinner of this kind which
he attended was at Colombo, where the guests of hon- our were a brigadier General and a Corporal-the latter a man who joined up at the age of 60. (Hear, hear).
